Chief executive Richard Howson said: “As we expected, the pace of work winning in the second half of the year has started to pick up.

Since the half year, we have secured contracts, preferred bidder positions and framework agreements that are expected to be worth around £1.7bn.

“With cash flow remaining healthy and these recent contract successes, we remain confident of achieving this year’s targets, including ending the year with strong revenue visibility for 2016.”
