Hercules Construction Academy Launch

Hercules officially launched its Construction Academy on 31st January at an event attended by c.150 industry partners, education professionals, local politicians and Hercules employees. This is the culmination of an ambitious plan to address the significant skills shortage in the construction industry and support major infrastructure projects across the Midlands. The Academy aims to train up to 400 entrants in its first year, making a valuable contribution to local skills and career prospects and underpinning Hercules’ own growth ambitions.

In our view, Hercules’ share price performance does not reflect recent strong progress. Our Fair Value / share estimate is 55p, representing an FY25 EV/EBITDA rating of c.11.5x.
