Pre-tax profit, turnover and order book all up after acquisition of UK consultant

Danish consultant Ramboll has posted strong results for 2011, boosted by its takeover of UK consultant Gifford.

Pre-tax profit rose 7% to 拢33m (鈧�40m) in the year ending 31 December 2011, while turnover increased by 13%, from 拢683m om 2010 (鈧�814m) to 拢776m (鈧�925m).

Ramboll鈥檚 Gifford acquisition in March 2011 helped boost its year-on-year order book from 拢315m (鈧�376m) to 拢360m (鈧�430m).

The firm bought 14 companies in 2011 across the UK, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Poland, the largest of which was Gifford.

Charles McBeath, managing director of Ramboll in the UK, said: 鈥淭hese results underline the great stability that being part of the Ramboll Group brings. In the UK we can plan our strategy for the long term and invest appropriately.鈥�
