Breedon Group's profits dropped 18% to £46.5m in the first half of 2023, while revenue increased by 3% to £764.6m. The decline in profits is attributed to challenging market conditions in the UK partly due to wet weather, but the company is encouraged by the new government's commitment to housebuilding.
