Group-wide revenue at French giant hits 拢22bn
Revenue at the construction arm of Bouygues, which is helping build part of the HS2 railway in the Chilterns, rose to more than 鈧�12bn (拢10bn) in the first half of the year.
According to the French giant鈥檚 interim results for the six months to June, income was up 3% to 鈧�12.2bn (拢10.5bn).
Although the firm cut construction鈥檚 losses by half it still remained in the red with an operating loss of 鈧�7m (拢6m). But Bouygues said the figure 鈥渨as not indicative of the full-year performance, due to the seasonality of [rail specialist] Colas鈥� activities鈥�.
Bouygues, which operates in a range of areas from construction to media and telecoms, said group revenue was up 41% to 鈧�26bn (拢22bn) with operating profit up from 鈧�492m (拢421) to 鈧�681m (拢583m).
Bouygues, which has also been working on the Hinkley Point C scheme in Somerset, will start work this year on a new facility to replace Moorfields Eye Hospital in north London.
