Tier One contractor McLaren 萝莉原创, now its 25th year, has seen its turnover pass 拢1bn for the first time.
McLaren 萝莉原创鈥檚 annual report and accounts for the year ending 31st July 2025 show turnover of 拢1.12 bn (2024: 拢924 m) and pre-tax profit of 拢21 m (2024: 拢11.9 m).

Growth is also driven by increased demand in data centres and warehouses.
