Interesting experiment in vertical integration

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Global reach and a nice logo dominated by plant hire and subcontractor bias. Have credibility on national stage although Laing O'Rourke Midlands was technically insolvent when I was there.

Cons

Focusing on profitability of plant hire and sub/trade contractors reduced margins to zero or below on main contracts due to unrealistic promises made to clients when contracts were won.
