Lucas Critchley, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"Mears has continued to make strong progress against its key strategic objectives. The Group continues to deliver growth in its core maintenance activities, having performed strongly through an intensive period of contract rebids, complemented by strategically important new business wins with Birmingham City Council and Rooftop Housing Group. We are well advanced with the integration of the Pennington business, which is already proving to have been an excellent acquisition, accelerating the development of the Mears' Compliance offer, as well as strengthening the Mears provision for long-term, strategic, asset management contracts. We also remain well positioned to deliver additional housing services to Central Government."
