Trading Update

Following the announcement today of the acquisition of Edenhall Holdings Limited, the Board confirms that it expects to exceed full year expectations.  This has been driven by better second half revenue growth.

Recent trading has been strong with revenue for the 11 months ended 30 November 2018 up 14 per cent at £465 million (2017: £407 million). The self-help programme to support organic growth is progressing well and the underlying indicators in the New Build Housing, Road, Rail and Water Management markets remain supportive.

The Board intends to issue its full year Preliminary Announcement on 14 March 2019.
