The overall forward order book for the business is up 15 per cent to a record £968 million, contributing to a 21 per cent increase in the interim dividend to 4.00p.

Recent contract wins across the business include two new deals the contractor has secured as a framework partner for the Flagship Housing Group in Suffolk and Cambridge, with a combined value of over £12 million.

Since the start of the year, ISG Jackson Special Projects has also been awarded contracts valued at over £6 million in Ipswich, Harlow and Great Yarmouth.
