Laing O’Rourke<\/a> has confirmed the agreed terms for the 2019 refinance of its UK business, which will deliver new banking facilities until 2022<\/h2>\n

As set out in October 2018, Laing O’Rourke<\/a> has completed a successful turnaround, and previously completed the refinance of its Australian business in mid-2018.<\/p>\n

The UK refinancing deal was agreed over the Christmas period and is currently in the process of being taken through final credit approval protocols and documentation by each lender organisation.<\/p>\n

Laing O\u2019Rourke is now finalising its FY18 year-end accounts and will file these at Companies House as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Founder and Group Chief Executive Ray O\u2019Rourke said: \u201cI am delighted to be able to update our stakeholders on the progress of the refinancing exercise. These agreements reflect an enormous amount of work by the banks, sureties, advisors and our people.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving achieved this important milestone as we enter the new calendar year, I want to take the opportunity to thank our clients and supply chain partners for their support and patience.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs noted in October last year<\/a>, and well publicised across the sector since, financing and regulatory processes in UK construction are not simple for any business at present. The entire sector has been impacted. This remains an issue of critical national importance and concern for 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor its part \u2013 Laing O\u2019Rourke will be driving new levels of productivity through innovation, offsite manufacturing<\/a>, data analysis and modern procurement practices; initiatives we believe will lead the way to a more sustainable UK construction sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge Government and other bodies to support the modernisation and reform of the industry and the three million UK jobs it creates.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s [8 January] announcement that financial heads of terms have been reached is a tribute to our loyal employees, without whom we could not have delivered the ground-breaking achievements of recent years.\u201d<\/p>\n
