Welcoming the figures, Gordon Cunningham, managing director, said: "One of the most pleasing aspects is that growth has come across all areas of our operation.
Without question the hard work we have undertaken to differentiate ourselves with our service from that of our competitors through initiatives such as Customers 1st has paid dividends.
Our customers have responded very positively which has, in turn, had a beneficial effect on our sales figures.
Clark Contracts' Customers 1st campaign is a unique, self-designed customer care programme which operates at every level of the business and aims to set unprecedented service standards in the building industry.
The programme centres around so called "moments of truth," those specific times and places where customers form their lasting impressions of the company, good, bad or simply indifferent.
Clark Contracts Zero Defects Team was set up to minimise snagging issues that are known to provoke annoyance amongst customers in the industry and the team sets out to eliminate that before it becomes an irritation.
Clark Contracts, which started as a local joinery and shop fitting business in the late seventies, is now one of Scotland's most successful independent building, construction, refurbishment and maintenance companies employing over 230 people at offices in Paisley and Edinburgh.
