VT's diversification is paying off

Article Abstract:

Vosper Thornycroft Ltd., a shipbuilding company from the United Kingdom, benefits from its initiative to diversify into support services for ships. Vosper Thornycroft opted to diversify its operations as a result of greater market competition and a decline in the number of contracts for manufacturing ships. The company's new contracts, such as a multi-million deal to service the ships of a garrison of the British Army, helped improve the yearly sales of its ship-support-services venture to 100 million pounds sterling.
