Overall income creeps up but revenue from Middle East goes into reverse

Aecom saw workloads edge up last year as the firm said turnover was boosted by rising income in the UK.

Aecom Ltd, which covers most of its UK business, said in accounts filed at Companies House that revenue in the year to 27 September last year was up 2% to 拢777m. Pre-tax profit was up 3& to 拢37m.

In a note accompanying the accounts, which were signed off at the beginning of the month, the firm said the rise in revenue was 鈥渄ue to increased volumes across all end markets as well as continued growth in the company鈥檚 involvement in multinational infrastructure projects across the globe鈥.
