Specialist offsite contractor M-AR has been named as one of the 50 fastest growing companies in Yorkshire. The prestigious Ward Hadaway Yorkshire Fastest 50 Awards, in association with The Yorkshire Post, celebrate growth, innovation and the commercial achievements of Yorkshire businesses.
Based on financial data filed with Companies House, the list ranks the fifty best performing independent companies which have consistently increased turnover over the past three financial years, whilst remaining profitable. M-AR was ranked third as a result of its continued and strategic growth which has seen it not just increase turnover but also successfully scale up operations by investing back into its manufacturing facilities. As a result, the company is successfully undertaking projects of larger scope including a recently completed 33 apartment development built in London for the UK's leading youth homelessness charity, Centrepoint.
Emma Digby, who is Executive Partner at Ward Hadaway's Leeds Office, said, "I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate M-AR alongside all the companies in the Ward Hadaway Yorkshire Fastest 50 list for 2023 for their outstanding achievements. The companies in the Fastest 50 demonstrate that real, genuine growth is happening.
"Yorkshire businesses are thriving because they've not been afraid to go against the grain, take risks or follow their instincts at a time when uncertainty is the norm. They've been brave, they've been bold and, as a result, rewarded through continued growth. This year's Fastest 50 list, as always, boasts many management teams with an unwavering passion to succeed who have created high growth, profitable businesses. It's this spirit, and the business success that it creates, that we are delighted to celebrate."
Ryan Geldard, Director at M-AR added: "It's a real honour to be named as one of the fastest growing businesses in Yorkshire this year alongside 49 other incredible Yorkshire companies. We set ourselves a mission just a few short years ago to increase the size of our operations here at M-AR so that we could take on larger projects, but more importantly to carve out a place for ourselves so that we could continue to champion the benefits of offsite construction to the wider industry. I think this award recognises the fact that we're well on our way to achieving our goal and with our passionate and dedicated team at the helm there is more to come from M-AR so watch this space!"
M-AR recently strengthened its core leadership team with a trio of new department heads appointed to co-ordinate both the offsite manufacture and on-site construction elements of projects for greater efficiency.
In the last six months, Ryan Guest, Steve Tate and Keith Hill have been appointed as Head of Commercial, Head of Manufacturing, and Head of Construction respectively. Together they also form part of M-AR's newly created Senior Leadership Team where they'll work alongside John Leitch (Preconstruction), Dan Lowther (Procurement), Robert Cousins (Design) and Charlotte Smith (Finance) to engage in open multi-departmental conversations intended to drive innovation and foster a mindset of collaboration and a 'one team' culture.
