Mowlem's order book at record level

Mowlem has revealed at its Annual General Meeting today (Thursday) that prospects for the year ahead are good - and it also remains on course to meet market expectations.

Chairman Charles Fisher said: "Our order book continues to improve in terms of quality and longevity.

"Currently standing at a record £2.5bn, the order book has been reinforced by such recent awards as a £120m package of work from Network Rail.

"The Board is confident the unique market offering which we have developed will ensure continued progress in 2003," he said.
