‘Survive to 25’ has been the phrase of the year in construction. In 2024, it was the UK’s most insolvent sector, yet many businesses stood strong. If that’s you, here’s to resilience in 2025!

The demise of so many top 100 contractors has weakened supply chains in some sectors to all but breaking point out.

What the industry does next is existential for many contractors.

Repeating the past and expecting a different result is the definition of madness and insolvency.

[DRS Bond Management @DRSBonds]

Reverberations of COVID-19 continue to be felt by Construction, long after it ceased to be topical.

Legacy fixed price, lump sum jobs where prices were agreed pre March 2020 hobbled many companies, before Ukraine fuelled inflation, material in many high profile insolvencies. 1/2

Hello everyone, it has been a while. That’s all about to change.

Watch this space. 💪

[DRS Bond Management @DRSBonds]

It looks like the worst kept secret in Construction is set to become public in the next day or so, with the insolvency of yet another top 100 contractor. This will have enormous ramifications for supply chain & harden still further the surety bond and trade credit markets.
