  1. UK civil engineering: roads and grids pay contractors what buildings don't

    Kier's highways arm keeps nearly 6p in the pound; the best building contractors fight for 4p. We mapped the 251 companies behind £18.7bn of Britain's roads, pylons and fibre — and why working for the state and the regulated utilities pays where building doesn't.

  2. UK data centres: the AI boom's engine rooms barely make money

    Stack Infrastructure's EMEA management company more than doubled its staff as the build-out accelerated; Global Switch's two London estate companies lost nearly £80M between them; Rackspace shrank again. The real profits sit with a derivatives record-keeper, a newswire archive and a very quiet CDN — because the boom pays landlords and builders before it pays hosts. We mapped the 193 hosting and data companies behind £9.4bn of turnover.

  3. UK drinks wholesale: stocking Britain's pubs is a 3p-in-the-pound trade — and the biggest supplier loses money

    Matthew Clark Bibendum, the giant of on-trade drinks supply, lost £12M on £891.9M of sales; William Grant's brands arm made £135.5M on £1.09bn in the same category. The margin is the business model, not the operator. We mapped the 156 drinks wholesalers behind £15.2bn of turnover.
