News from Fugro's Shareholders meeting
At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held today Mr K.S. Wester – CEO of Fugro – indicated that the first quarter turned out to be very strong and that, setting aside unforeseen circumstances, both profit and turnover will exceed last year's record. The order book as at the start of the year, remains at a high level. By now, the number of employees has increased to more than 9,000, despite a world wide shortage for technical personnel and qualified specialists.
