(Sharecast News) - Shares in Kier Group fell almost 6% as chief executive Andrew Davies announced on Tuesday he was retiring at the end of October, with Stuart Togwell, the building firm's group managing director of construction named as replacement.
In a separate statement, Kier said full-year revenue and profit would be in line with the board's expectations, with a year-end order book of around £11.0bn, with 88% of revenue for fiscal 2026 secured.
Kier reported a 22% rise in net cash to £204m at the end of June compared with a year ago.
"Growth opportunities in the group's core markets continue to be underpinned by the Government's renewed investment commitments, to improving UK infrastructure and regulated UK assets," the company said.
