In announcing the result, Andrew Hansen said “This year we have delivered on our promise of strategic growth with the acquisition of the Peace Software Group. We have successfully integrated Peace into the Hansen Group and performance is ahead of our expectations.

Notwithstanding the most difficult economic climate in recent memory, we have maintained momentum and been able to deliver a strong operating performance across each business unit and geography.

We remain focused on serving the Energy and Telecommunications industries which continue to under go substantial change. I believe Hansen has the right knowledge, market position, and financial structure to support these market changes. Our pipeline for organic growth through potential project work is very healthy, and we are continuing to pursue strategic growth through selective acquisition. We are well positioned to fund the technology and industry initiatives we are pursuing as our group’s financial position remains strong.

I am very positive about the future of our business and I am optimistic of delivering another record operating performance in fiscal 2009/10”.
