Leading infrastructure services company FM
Compiled by Fast Track and published in The Sunday Times newspaper 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 (€317.24 million), which saw the Dartford, county Kent, England-based business move up to number 118 in the ranking.
A second generation family business, FM Conway is responsible for constructing and maintaining roads, buildings, structures and public spaces across the capital and the south east. The company has long-term maintenance contracts with many of the London boroughs and Transport for London, and with an array of major private sector clients from the Port of Dover through to the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee.
FM Conway’s growth and success in winning recent bids is attributed by the business to its ‘self-delivery’ model. The company has invested heavily in its infrastructure in the past twelve months, opening a new £10 million (€13.52 million) asphalt plant in Heathrow and a £2.5 million (€3.38 million) bitumen terminal in Gravesend, Kent. This has enabled FM Conway to revolutionise the way it 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”.
