Keller Group plc ("Keller" or "the Group"), the international ground engineering specialist, is providing the following routine trading update in advance of its results for the financial year ending 31 December 2008, which will be announced on 2 March 2009.
Since the Interim Management Statement released on 13 November 2008, the Group has continued to see strong trading. This gives the Board confidence that the Group will report another excellent set of results for 2008.
Unsurprisingly, given the global economic uncertainty, orders in a number of geographies have eased in the past few months from their recent high level. However, with the strengthening of most currencies against sterling, the sterling value of the order book remains at a similar level to this time last year.
