We have continued to operate in Construction, Maintenance and Consulting for the building and developing of high voltage transmission and distribution assets. As part of the current necessary investment to develop the UK transmission assets to connect new renewable energy sources and improve the security of the electricity network, there is currently a boom in resources needed.
