Chairman’s AGM statement
I am pleased to report that Keller has made a good start to the year with operating profit for the first quarter ahead of the same period in 2000.The Group order book is also good and has been maintained at the high levels reported at the end of last year. In the first quarter the Group has benefited from a particularly strong performance in North America where both operating profit and order levels were substantially ahead of last year. Demand for our specialist services in North America remains strong and we see no sign of a market downturn at present. Looking ahead, the Board is confident about the out-turn for the year and will continue to pursue our strategy of maintaining global leadership in the core foundation business through organic growth and bolt-on acquisitions together with continued expansion of the non-foundation sector of our business. | Keller Group plc | 020 8341 6424 | | Tom Dobson, Chief Executive | | | Justin Atkinson, Finance Director | | |  | | | Golin/Harris Ludgate | 020 7398 0800 | | Christopher Joll | | | Nick Lambert | |
