Consultant鈥檚 UK business grows 23% over the first three quarters of the year
WSP鈥檚 UK business is enjoying a strong year, with revenue up 23% over the first three quarters of 2014.
The Canada-based consultant, which acquired and then took the name of UK consultant WSP last year, posted UK revenue of CAN$323m (拢178m) over the nine month period, up from CAN$263m (拢145m) the previous year.
In the accounts, the firm said organic growth in UK revenue was running at 15%.
It said: 鈥淭he buildings market sector accounted for the bulk of the organic growth, offsetting a softer infrastructure market sector.鈥�
WSP said these two sectors accounted for 78% of net UK revenue.
The firm鈥檚 overall global revenue increased 13% to CAN$1.7bn (拢348.4m) from CAN$1.5bn (拢271m), while pre-tax profit rose to CAN$93m (拢52m), up from CAN$68m (拢38m).
WSP completed the CAN$1.2bn (拢820m) purchase of Balfour Beatty鈥檚 consultancy arm, Parsons Brinckerhoff, on 31 October, outside the reporting period.
