Speaking of the results, Derek said: “Hill & Smith has delivered its best ever trading performance in 2016, with infrastructure spending in our key UK & US markets remaining strong. Our performance continues to be underpinned by our tried and tested strategy of international diversity together with the leading positions our businesses hold in their respective markets. Rising infrastructure investment, with our focus on active portfolio management to drive shareholder value, resulted in record returns. Overall, despite political and macro-economic uncertainties, 2017 is again expected to be a year of progress.”
