Arup delivered a solid commercial performance in the financial year 2024/25. We have a robust foundation moving forward. We continue to adapt with resilience to a changing business climate shaped by slower global economic growth and uncertainty in some markets.

Profitability and investment

In the last year, Arup’s global revenue was £2.16bn and we achieved an operating profit of 2.7%.

While revenue decreased marginally during the year, we maintained solid profitability and ended the year with a strong forward workload.

Importantly, we have continued to invest strategically in areas that align with our new strategy and five-year business plan. This includes investments in technology, tools and technical skills development to support our members in delivering excellence for our clients. This has positioned us well for sustainable growth and future opportunities, including continued growth in Europe, the Americas and Southeast Asia.

Growth opportunities

Our business is realising opportunities for growth in renewable energy, water, technology, building retrofit and transport, despite a macroeconomic environment characterised by elevated interest rates, curbs on government spending and geopolitical instability.

Arup continues to deliver work that has a positive impact around the globe, supports our clients’ sustainability goals, rewards our members and aligns with our mission to shape a better world. We are moving into the future with confidence in line with our new strategy.
