LONDON (Alliance News) - WS Atkins plc (ATK.L), in its pre-close trading update, said its overall performance in the year to date remained in line with expectations and that its outlook for the year remains unchanged and in line with its view.
The provider of engineering and design consultancy services witnessed a strong first half in the UK and said it continued to deliver good growth across its highways, rail, water and environment, defence and aerospace and management consultancy businesses.
While the group's trading was in line with its expectations in Europe, it made a good progress with the reorganisation of its infrastructure and environment consultancy business in North America. Trading in Asia Pacific business has been in line with expectations.
In Middle East, the company continues to be impacted by project delays and restructuring, despite a steady start to the year. As a result, the group anticipates that there will be a greater weighting of profits to the second half in the current year.
