Parkwood
Article Abstract:
Parkwood is a grounds management group that has seen a stock price fall since its flotation, though there has been an improvement in the group's performance since 1998. There are three divisions, with grounds management being the largest, and the turnover should be some 20 million pounds sterling for 2000, while margins are increasing. The leisure division manages 30 facilities, with new contracts, and is performing well, while the healthcare division reported a loss for 1999. The group should achieve a profit of 1.4 million pounds sterling for 2000, according to Beeson Gregory.
