Bucknall's profits leap
Construction industry management consultants, the Bucknall Group has announced a 79% rise in pre-tax profits of œ913,000 (œ509,000) for the year ended 30 April. Turnover rose by 52% to œ30.4 million (œ20 million).

May Gurney has been awarded the 30.8 million A13 Wennington-Mardyke contract in Essex. Work on the 3.3km dual carriageway scheme starts in August. It should be completed in 24 months. The Channel Tunnel Rail Link will run parallel. CTRL had pressed for an early completion to the road scheme.
HOME STARTSDOWN
Applications to start new homes in the second quarter of 1996 were down 9% on last year, except for Northern Ireland (up 22%) and East Midlands (2% ahead) according to the National House-Building Council. However, sales of new homes in June showed a 13% increase on May 1996, the best month since June 1995.
JUBILEELINE
Contrary to our story last week on the JLEbreakthrough (News prompts Lovell's swift JLE exit), the breakthrough on the eastbound tunnels was not an organised event and, as such, no dignitaries were left waiting for an hour and a half as reported. We are happy to clarify this.
