Haymills is expecting continued growth in its Gibraltar division despite the recent unrest over possible shared sovereignty of the Rock.
"I don't see work for the group harmed by shared sovereignty," said group chief executive Steve Feery. "In fact, it could be an exciting challenge and I believe we have the team to do it.
"Only recently we have secured a contract in Gibraltar against strong competition from a Spanish contractor. That's not unusual as although we are slightly more expensive than our native colleagues, we are producing better quality results."
The group first set foot on Gibraltar in 1987 as a supplier of works for the Ministry of Defence.
Turnover from the Rock now stands at £5m, mostly from housing projects for the government.
Feery said the Gibraltar team could venture onto the Spanish mainland.
