With adjusted earnings per share up 15% for the period to 64.2p (HY 2018: 55.6p), and interim dividend up 11% to 21.0p (HY 2018: 19.0p), the Group is confident of a strong performance for the second half of 2019.
Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure has its national headquarters in Rugby, along with regional offices and sites across the UK. Commenting on the results, Simon Smith, managing director for Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, said:
“We entered 2019 in a robust position, and these interim results show that we are continuing this positive momentum.
“Infrastructure’s strategic focus on six specific sectors and careful selection of projects within these markets, combined with our commitment to delighting our customers, stands us in good stead for continued progress.”
Pat Boyle, managing director for Morgan Sindall Construction, added:
“We are dedicated to not only delivering outstanding projects that exceed expectations, but also to leaving a lasting legacy by improving the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the communities in which we operate.
“We think this genuine commitment to social value is a real differentiator for us.”
In Morgan Sindall Infrastructure a number of projects in the water sector have contributed to the half year results. The division is continuing to work with Welsh Water and Yorkshire Water as part of two Asset Management Period 2015 – 2020 frameworks to upgrade and enhance the water networks. In addition, it is also continuing to deliver the £416 million west section of the Thames Tideway Tunnel as part of a joint venture. During the period, tunnelling has started on the 7km main tunnel drive and the 1km Frogmore connection tunnel.
James Sumsion, CEO of predictive water intelligence specialists Kohtari, says the water sector needs to take a giant leap forward, so that it can anticipate and act upon water quality issues - rather than merely react.
Ray Moulds, Sales Director at Flood Control International, takes a look at how automated sliding floodgates are supporting secondary containment at water and sewerage company sites.
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
