Mark Heine, CEO: “I am pleased with the significant margin expansion that we have achieved during the first half of the year, in particular in our Marine business. The improved performance was underpinned by better terms and conditions, operating leverage and solid project execution, despite still increasing cost levels.
While geopolitical developments and elections worldwide create uncertainties which may impact policies, our Geo-data solutions remain key to the energy transition, infrastructure development and climate change adaptation. We continue to capture the ample opportunities in our markets, supported by our healthy and growing backlog.
We are progressing well with the implementation of our Towards Full Potential strategy, supported by ongoing investments in people, technology and execution excellence. Since early July, Fugro Resolve and Fugro Resilience are at work, supporting further growth in the buoyant market for geotechnical site characterisation solutions. We are successfully attracting the people we need to support our clients. In the first half year, despite tight labour markets, we hired over 1000 people, and voluntary staff turnover dropped to 9%.
Looking ahead, I am convinced that with our people, technology and solutions we are well positioned to achieve our strategic objectives and mid-term targets.“
