  • City-REDI Policy Briefing Series
    City-REDI Policy Briefing Series March Image Image 2018 Part B Carillion’s Collapse: Consequences Dr Amir Qamar & Professor Simon Collinson Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, were proud of their commitment to support regional growth and small-scale suppliers. As part of this commitment they directed 60% of project expenditure to local economies. Following the collapse of the firm, this positive multiplier effect became a significant, negative multiplier effect, particularly damaging to small-scale suppliers in the construction industry. The aim of this policy brief is to examine the consequences of Carillion’s demise, many of which are only now surfacing. One of the fundamental lessons that we can learn from Carillion’s collapse is about these ‘contagion’ effects. As we saw in the 2008 financial crisis, the businesses that underpin the economic health of the country are connected and strongly co-dependent. When a large flagship firm falls it brings down others. This does not mean we need more state intervention. But it does mean we need more intelligent state intervention. One of the fundamental lessons that the Government can learn from the Carillion episode is that it has a significant responsibility as a key customer, using public sector funds for public sector projects, to monitor the health of firms and assess the risks prior to issuing PPI and other contracts. 1 Introduction The collapse of Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, has had a significant, negative knock-on effect, particularly on small-scale suppliers in the industry. In total, Carillion was comprised of 326 subsidiaries, of which 199 were in the UK.

  • Carillion's Collapse
    City-REDI Policy Briefing Series March Image Image 2018 Part A Carillion’s Collapse: Cause Dr Amir Qamar & Professor Simon Collinson Racing to secure bids over rival construction companies, Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, hit a financial tipping point, lost the backing of the banks and collapsed. Its aggressive growth strategy and the diversification of its business portfolio increased the complexity of its internal structure. Coupled with poor oversight of its day-to-day operations, over-runs on flagship projects and an unclear corporate governance structure, the firm acquired debts of £1.5bn. One may argue that the demise of the construction giant was an inevitable outcome. The aim of this policy brief is to provide insights into the cause of Carillion’s financial meltdown and outline lessons for managers, shareholders, stakeholders and government from the closure of this construction giant. 1 Introduction With business roots tracing back to over a century ago, as of 2018, Carillion grew to employ 43,000 employees globally and 19,000 in the UK (about 2,000 in the West Midlands). Carillion was second only to Balfour Beatty in terms of turnover. The firm seemed to be performing, with consistent growth in revenues in recent years. The 2016- 2017 financial year was in fact, exceptional, with Carillion reporting £5.2bn in revenue; 14% higher than the preceding year. The fate of this construction giant, however, took a drastic turn in 2017 which ultimately resulted in the closure of the business in 2018, marking a historical year for the UK construction industry.

  • Next Carillion?
    BY JOHN KINGHAM dividend hunter Who will be the next Carillion? For many dividend investors, the demise of Carillion was a disaster. Not only did their port- folios lose an important source of income, they also saw a permanent loss of capital. It's easy to see what went wrong with hindsight, and in the August 2017 issue of Master Investor I wrote about some of the key lessons from Carillion's collapse. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the problems with Carillion were not exactly hard to spot, even several years be- fore its eventual demise. So rather than do yet another Carillion post-mortem, I thought it would be more useful to apply a little foresight and look for companies with similar "red ľdjv%#zklfk#lqyhvwruv#pljkw#zdqw#wr#dyrlg#ru#jhw#rxw#ri1 There were four key lessons from so the similarities with Carillion are One problem with this business Carillion, so I'll be looking for four clear.
