Chief Executive Officer Bob Keiller said: "Our 2012 financial results represent another year of strong growth with EBITA up 35%, reflecting the focus and hard work of our people around the world. Wood Group is a great company and I believe we can be even better if we harness our collective strengths more effectively and operate in a more joined-up manner."We are set to make progress in all divisions in 2013, and I look forward to leading our further development in good long term growth markets."Divisionally, Wood Group Engineering delivered its second consecutive year of 30% EBITA growth, with particular strength in upstream and subsea & pipelines.
