Justin Atkinson, Keller Chief Executive said:
"The 2014 results demonstrate the continued strength of the Group's business model. Our breadth of geographies and capabilities puts us in a good position to pursue future growth which, coupled with strong risk management and ongoing self-help measures, positions us well for the future.
Whilst conditions in our main markets remain mixed, the gradual upturn in the US, our largest market, the continuing improvements in our operating performance and our strong order book mean that the Group is set for another year of good progress in 2015."
