Sir Ian Wood, Chairman, and Allister Langlands, CEO, said:

"We anticipate good progress in all divisions in 2012. In our activities supporting clients' development capex, we are forecasting strong growth in Engineering driven by increased E&P capex spend and have good visibility in our Wood Group GTS Power Solutions business into 2012. In our activities supporting clients' production opex activities, we see performance improvement in Wood Group PSN and further growth in Wood Group GTS Maintenance.

"Through our market leading positions in engineering, production facilities support and gas turbine services, we are well positioned to take advantage of strong growth trends in energy markets and we continue to anticipate good growth in the longer term."
