Mitie, the outsourcing and asset management company, issued a trading update this morning ahead of its financial results for the 12-month period ending on 31 March.
Profits are reported to have been in line with management expectations.
Mitie enjoyed “good growth” in the second half of the year, despite a slowing in some areas of its business such as interior fit-out and new-build housing – though it only has limited exposure to these sectors
“In the period since our last interim management statement, we have been particularly pleased with our progress in sectors that support the UK’s national infrastructure, both through our public and private sector clients,” says the group.
