Construction consultancy Driver Group said the positive trends seen in its full year results to September 2011 have continued into the second quarter of the current financial year.
Driver said the benefits of restructuring and refocusing the Middle East business have come through stronger than management anticipated in the current financial year whilst all other businesses are performing in line with and towards the top end of management expectations.
As previously stated, first quarter trading had been at the top end of management expectations and whilst the Driver is still relatively early in the current financial year, given the continued strength of trading and secured workload the board now believes the firm will exceed management expectations for the current financial year.
