FM Conway on upward track
Company rises 80 places in The Sunday Times’ annual Top Track 250 league table
INFRASTRUCTURE services company FM Conway have leapt 80 places in The Sunday Times Top Track 250 following another year of considerable growth.
Compiled by Fast Track and published each October, the league table ranks the fastest-growing private companies in Britain by sales increase.
Revenues at FM Conway rose 42% this year to reach £234.5 million, which saw the Dartford-based business move up to number 118 in the ranking.
FM Conway, a second-generation family business, are responsible for constructing and maintaining roads, buildings, structures and public spaces across London and the South East.
The company has long-term maintenance contracts with many of the London boroughs and Transport for London, as well as an array of major private sector clients ranging from the Port of Dover to the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee.
FM Conway say their growth and success in winning recent bids is attributable to their ‘self-delivery’ model.
The company has invested heavily in its infrastructure in the past 12 months, opening a new £10 million asphalt plant at Heathrow and a £2.5 million bitumen terminal in Gravesend.
This has allowed FM Conway to revolutionize the way the company sources and uses materials, making its services more cost- and carbon-efficient.
Chief operating officer Andrew Hansen said: ‘This year’s ranking confirms that our self-delivery model is working. Customers are coming alive to the cost and carbon benefits that we can deliver for them – the result being we are now consistently winning and retaining major contracts.’
