Robertson Group is a large British construction company based in Elgin, Scotland, but also operating in the north and midlands of England.
[4] One specific policy, pertaining to the release of housing plots, was relatively open and approachable to smaller parties, which enabled the firm to branch into the homebuilding sector via the purchase of several small plots, employ other tradesmen to build them, and sell the completed houses for profit; homebuilding would be a key early business sector alongside contract work.
[4] By the mid-1970s, Robertson Group had grown to the point where employed around 50 people and owned several construction vehicles, including a 16-ton tipper truck, a three tonne dumper and its first JCB.
[4] During 1998, having deciding to pursue further PFI work due to the favourable margins offered, Robertson Group established its own facilities management operation.
In light of this, Robertson Group decided to change its finance model and sell off several investments that it had made, including in the PFI sector.
