Long-term contracts provide growth in order book
VolkerWessels' operating profit and net profit are solid in difficult market conditions. Despite a 10% fall in turnover, the result has improved compared with the first semester of 2012. International markets and the Energy & Telecoms sector now account for almost half of VolkerWessels' revenue.
The order book grew in the first semester of 2013 with some significant new orders, including a number of long-term contracts. VolkerWessels' financial position remains solid and the company has further reduced its net debt.
