With our record order book, dedicated and experienced team and careful approach to bidding and project management, we are well placed to continue our track record of managed, predictable growth for the years to come."

Kevin Hyde, the recently appointed Chief Executive, added: "Our strategy is to ensure that we are in an excellent position to deliver integrated services to local authorities, using the powerful combination of skills and resources from across all of Jarvis’ operating divisions. The £135 million environmental services contract for Herefordshire Council demonstrates our success in providing the local community with a broad range of services."
