Cheadle construction firm set for record results

A Cheadle-based construction firm has announced it is on target to achieve record-breaking results in its current financial year.

Short Construction has revealed it is on track to achieve its £25 million turnover target this year, supporting the longer-term ambition to grow annual turnover to £40 million by 2030. The business is currently just past the halfway point of its financial year, and has 10 live projects across the North West, alongside a strong pipeline of opportunities for the remainder of 2026.

Live projects include work at Overbanks in Stockport town centre for developer Britannia Group, two projects for Cube Homes, and a fourth project with Kids Planet Nursery Group.

The Cheadle construction firm’s MD, Adrian Short, commented:

“Market conditions made the first half of the year challenging, so we are particularly pleased to be on target for the current financial year. Converting enquiries into live projects is certainly taking longer, but it is encouraging to see regional developers continuing to invest and demonstrate confidence in the North West.

“We have yet to see the ‘Andy Burnham effect’ translate into our pipeline, but the additional attention the North West is attracting can only be positive for the region. The housing market here has been outperforming southern regions for some time, and businesses such as Kids Planet show that there is also real strength across the wider commercial market. Our focus now is on maintaining that momentum through proactive business development as we continue working towards our 2030 target.”
