Watkin Jones News
Watkin Jones named in Prestigious
Profits League
Watkin Jones is the only Welsh company to be listed in The Sunday Times Profit Track 100 2006 – a prestigious ‘league table’ of UK businesses with the fastest growing profits.
We’re also the oldest company to make this year’s listing, and it’s a welcome reflection of the sustained progress that the Watkin Jones Group is continuing to make in an increasingly competitive market.
Commenting on our success – we are ranked 51st in the table - Stephen Harrison, regional Chairman for the West and Wales at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said: ‘It’s fantastic to see a private company like Watkin Jones, with a long tradition of family ownership, and its people, delivering sustained profitability and making a great contribution to both our regional and national economy’.
Our success is based on teamwork, dedication and a commitment to quality and customer service – and with those attributes being very much part of the Watkin Jones ethos, we look forward to further profit growth…and awards!
