Quality
"We remain focused on quality projects rather than chasing revenue. Our strategic approach to work winning has accounted for an exceptionally strong pipeline. This leaves us well placed for 2021 with strong levels of secured work," said chief executive Michael Graham.
The company, which recorded a £10 million improvement in cash to £72.9 million, employs more than 2,000 people.
