"The successful acquisition of Mouchel now positions Kier as a sector leader in the growing UK highways maintenance and management market. In particular, the acquisition enables the Group to capitalise on £17 billion of investment in the strategic road network to be delivered through Highways England over the next five years, whilst also accelerating the delivery of Kier's "Vision 2020" strategy."
