Aureos Infrastructure Services has accelerated its expansion strategy following its separation from Keltbray, delivering strong revenue growth as it invests heavily in building a broader, more capable business.
Since being acquired by EMK Capital in 2024, the company has focused on scaling its infrastructure services platform, achieving a 15% rise in annual turnover to £367m for the year ending October 2025.
This growth has been driven by a combination of organic development and targeted acquisitions, positioning Aureos to operate across a wider range of infrastructure services, from power networks to digital and engineering consultancy.
While profitability has softened in the short term, this reflects a deliberate phase of investment. The business has significantly increased its workforce—adding more than 250 employees—to support its expanding operations and future pipeline. Much of this growth has been in professional and technical roles, strengthening its delivery and management capability.
A series of acquisitions has also played a central role in Aureos’ strategy. The addition of companies such as GA Construction (Highlands), Energyline, Helix Workflo and AS Design & Engineering has broadened the group’s expertise and enhanced its ability to deliver end-to-end solutions.
These moves have inevitably increased overheads and integration costs, impacting margins in the near term. However, the company appears focused on long-term value creation, with investments aimed at building a more resilient and diversified business.
Although pre-tax profit dipped slightly to £3.2m, and underlying earnings declined as expansion costs rose, Aureos has reduced exceptional charges compared to the previous year—signalling progress beyond its initial restructuring phase.
Overall, the latest results highlight a business in growth mode, prioritising scale, capability and market position, with the expectation that these investments will support stronger returns in the years ahead.
