Kier at a glance

Our divisions

Kier has the financial strength, the ability and the resources to adapt its offering of services to meet any customer’s requirements in the built environment. Whether through acquisition or through creating and developing new areas of expertise and resources within the Group, we are proactive in providing solutions where a customer’s need has been identified.

Our market

“Kier has had another successful year in a tough economic environment; underlying revenue and profit before tax are well ahead of last year and cash generation has been very strong, with average month-end cash balances at a high level.

Our diverse skills and integrated business model have provided greater resilience during these challenging economic conditions. We are encouraged by the prospects we see in markets such as power and waste, in mixed-use regeneration and in the growth we see in public sector outsourcing.

Kier continues to benefit from its long-term client relationships and the numerous frameworks in which we are involved. Our network of local offices allows us to respond to the ever-widening requirement of customers for local capability to deliver ‘bundled’ services.

We have announced a full-year dividend of 64 pence per share, a 10% increase on last year. This demonstrates the strength of our financial position and the confidence we have in our business going forward.

Although we expect the next 12 months to be challenging, we remain confident that our positioning across a wide spectrum of service areas, coupled with our committed and professional staff, will enable us to deliver a good performance in the new financial year.”
