Kier says order book is strong
British construction group Kier has said its order books in building and services are strong, backing evidence that the latest gloomy official data is out of tune with experiences in the industry. Kier said it booked £600m of work since the end of December, securing all of this year’s expected construction revenue and 80 per cent of targeted revenue for the year to 30 June 2012.
