Bellway has today announced record preliminary annual results: turnover, at £773 million, is up 23.4% on last year and operating profits are up 29.8%. “Bellway plc has again delivered a record set of annual results,” said chairman Howard Dawe. “We have remained committed to delivering quality homes to the middle market and this had resulted in the value of our forward sales increasing from £325 million in July 2002 to £380 million at the end of July 2003. “Our proven track record, the strongest forward sales position in our history, the exceptional quality of our land bank and the formation of three new trading divisions makes the board extremely confident about the future.”
