A B2B newsbrand for the UK construction industry has topped revenue of £1m for the second year running, some 14 years after its co-founders decided to set up on their own.

Aaron Morby and Grant Prior were editor and news editor respectively at Emap-owned Construction News for nearly 20 years before leaving in 2007 when the publisher decided to make changes and bring in new people.

Both freelanced for a few years before deciding to use a chunk of the payoffs they had received to start their own rival publication, the Construction Enquirer, in 2010.
