Firm says income hit by dleays on major transport infrastructure job

Roofing and facade firm Lindner Prater returned to profit last year despite income slipping more than a quarter, its latest accounts reveal.

The firm said it made a pre-tax profit of 拢3.3m, the first time it has been in the black since 2020 when it made a pre-tax profit of 拢6m.

But the company said turnover fell 27% to 拢44m in the year to December 2024 鈥渓argely due to delays on a significant transport infrastructure project鈥�.
