Leo Quinn, Group Chief Executive, commented 鈥淭he transformation of 333体育平台官网 is well underway. We have returned the听Group to profit and significantly exceeded our Build to Last Phase One targets. We have upgraded leadership, processes and听controls while continuing to invest in the Group鈥檚 unique strengths. As a result, we have improved not just the quality of our order听book but our customer satisfaction scores.
鈥淗aving simplified the Group, we are focused on our core markets in the UK and US, where governments are committed to large听scale expenditure on infrastructure.
鈥淎ll this positions us for future profitable growth. During the next two-year phase of Build to Last, we expect to achieve industry standard听margins and over the medium term, industry-leading performance.鈥�
