Wakefield-based worktop fabricator Roann says it has achieved “a record half-year”, with turnover being up by 50% compared with this time in 2024.
According to the fabricator and installer, its half-year turnover had risen to £5.277m for January to June 2025. This follows news earlier in the year that Roann planned to invest £300,000 into its Wakefield factory to enhance production capacity significantly.
Across the first six months of the year, Roann said its 40-strong team fabricated 6,344 worktops, marking one of the busiest production periods in the company’s three-decade history.
The company has also put its financial success down to major contract wins, such as being appointed by construction company McAleer & Rushe to install more than 350 kitchen worktops at the new Bermondsey Project development in London, and being appointed by The Hill Group to provide worktops for more than 260 plots in Southwark.
“This strong start to the year has been driven by increasing our market share with long-standing customers, securing new contracts, and attracting new clients,” explained Scott Wharton, operations and technical director at Roann.
“Our strategic investment in people and factory improvements has given us the right team and the capacity to deliver our growth plans. Our pipeline is healthy and with increasing demand we are committed to growing our workforce with two new appointments in July and plan to further invest in our manufacturing capabilities.”
