Dundee sustainable engineering specialist sees revenue surpass £9 million

One of Dundee’s fastest growing sustainable businesses has surpassed £9 million in turnover after notching up 33 per cent year-on-year growth.

Radix, which was founded in 2019 by Callum Milne, is a specialist in developing and manufacturing sustainable screw pile and ground screw foundation systems - supporting projects across the renewable energy, transport, construction, leisure and residential development sectors.

Since launching, the company’s team has grown to 22 employees, based between the group’s Dundee headquarters and its Chelmsford operational hub. The firm operates its own commercial installation division, delivering an “end-to-end” service in the battery energy storage system space and on larger-scale projects.

Bosses said turnover was forecast to reach £12m this year and the business was “firmly on an upward trajectory”, driven by sustained demand across the renewable energy, infrastructure and development sectors.

Milne said: “Dundee has always been a city defined by innovation, resilience and ambition, and we are really proud to be part of that story.

“We founded Radix with the belief that engineering and sustainability could work hand in hand. Today, we are supporting projects around the world while continuing to invest, innovate and grow here in Scotland. It is important that our success reflects positively on Dundee and demonstrates the quality of engineering talent and expertise that exists here.”

The company’s turnover growth has been matched by investment in the business, with the expansion of its Dundee headquarters and warehousing capability in 2023, and the securing of additional warehousing capacity at its Chelmsford base in April of this year.
