Carillion sells contracts.



They wont get the benefit of being able to smell the customers dirty knickers though pal, to you, thats worth more than £6k a week!
Correct .Dirty washing baskets fill me with glee.

Revenue is vanity
Profit is sanity
Cash is king
This.I have a mate who had an electrical services company, kept banging on about his turnover this,turnover that blah blah .2 million turnover, never made fuck all went pop and took loads down with him.
I on the Other hand have a nice little set up,I have a couple of lads on for me and do quite well for myself.
I graft for one thing. Money.
Stick ya turnover, fuck ya prestige contracts and high profile clients.
One thing in life is certain, someone will fuck you over. Margins are so tight that if one contract in 20 goes tits up, youve lost any profit in the others.

Yes; over the last 12 months. Carillion was worth 1 billion a few year back. When they tried to buy BB, I was shocked to read they were twice the size. The figures you put up there show how much they have fell.
That's not their worth it's the value of contracts they've won in the month/ year
 
Double edge sword that table, bigger the contract bigger the risk taken on ....

Not really, risk very much depends on the contract not the value. You can have a very low value contract with a very high risk or you could win a large contract on cost plus and have very low risk.

See your point, although in reality are many large contracts traded as cost plus? generally risk is put in the hands of the contractor ?

Cariilions shares were worth 1 billion not so long back.today under 100million.tomorrow probably fuck all.I'm 2013 and 2012 they made profits of hundreds of millions.you quoting last 12 months figures which obviously paints a different picture.They've been fucked for a while so no-one is going to award them much are they?

My post was in response to yours saying they are by far the biggest Contractor in the country, they're not.
