Murphy continues to defy industry headwinds with a powerful blend of resilience, performance, and purpose. Despite a slight dip in revenue, the family-owned engineering and construction firm posted an 11% rise in operating profit and grew net cash by 15% in 2024—all while expanding its workforce and cutting carbon emissions by over 6%.
