In the Chairman’s Statement, David Turner says:
“I am pleased to report that the Group produced a 2010 trading performance in line with our expectations in what proved to be a year of varied markets.”
“Whilst we are anticipating that our markets and trading patterns will be broadly maintained in 2011, the Group remains well placed both to manage difficult market conditions and to benefit quickly from opportunities as trading conditions improve. We expect the trading environment to continue to improve, albeit slowly, in the private sector in our major markets where we are well-positioned, whereas the outlook for public expenditure is more varied, with the market in Sweden continuing to be strong but the UK weak.”
“WSP remains one of the most diversified businesses in its field with a well balanced portfolio of global and regional clients working across all sectors which provides many opportunities. The Board is therefore confident that the Group, which is well managed and financed, will maintain its momentum and performance where economies are currently strong and rapidly take advantage as the more difficult markets improve.”
