RNS Number : 6564L Van Elle Holdings PLC 16 December 2025
16 December 2025
Van Elle Holdings plc
('Van Elle', the 'Company' or the 'Group')
First Half Trading Update
Notice of Results
Analyst Briefing & Investor Presentation
Van Elle Holdings plc (AIM: VANL), the UK's largest ground engineering
contractor, today provides a trading update for the six months ended 31
October 2025 (the 'Period').
Trading update
The Group's results for continuing operations in the Period are in line with
the Board's expectations. This reflects a resilient operational performance
despite the challenging market conditions, and in particular, the continued
delays to Building Safety Act approvals for high-rise residential buildings.
The Group expects to report revenue for continuing operations in the Period of
approximately £73m (HY2025: £65m), representing an increase of 12% on the
prior year, primarily driven through improving volumes within General Piling
and Strata Geotechnics.
The Group has strengthened its position in the UK's Energy and Water sectors,
where the medium-term opportunity is significant. In Energy, the Group is
progressing ground investigation and design workstreams on the major Beauly to
Loch Buidhe transmission scheme for Wood Group, and work has commenced on its
first transmission projects for M-Group. In Water, Strata Geotechnics has
secured a place on United Utilities' AMP8 ground investigation framework, and
several waste water treatment schemes are underway with Galliford Try, Kier
and Costain.
The steadily improving activity levels across the Group are encouraging, and
the Board welcomes the announcement by the Building Safety Regulator on 12
December 2025 confirming that staged applications for all new higher risk
buildings will shortly be accepted, which should accelerate Building Safety
Act approvals during 2026. The Board is confident in delivering results for
the full year in line with market expectations(1).
Notice of results
The Company expects to announce its half-year results for the six months ended
31 October 2025 on Monday, 26 January 2026.
