Building up margins
Article Abstract:
WSP is an engineering firm which should benefit from the revival of the United Kingdom real estate and construction industry. The company is a leader in this market so should benefit from a trend toward larger projects. Graham Consulting is a civil engineer acquired by WSP in 1997, and Graham has made a major improvement in its margins since the acquisition, which also strengthens WSP in an area where it was weaker. WSP's profit is forecast at 4.1 million pounds sterling for 1998 by Beeson Gregory.
