New WII Wins. The Group is pleased to announce that five contracts in the US and Canada worth at least $300,000 will be started between April 29 and June 11. These contracts leverage ALD market presence and will be executed by both US and UK personnel. WII personnel will also assist in training additional staff in the US and Canada during 2019 and beyond, enabling the Group to execute a greater range of contracts in parallel. Two of the contracts (Syracuse, New York and Ontario, Canada) will take a page from the Sydney/Australia development playbook and drive growth in upstate New York and eastern Canada after Q1's reacquisition of ALD's Ontario franchise. Another contract - Flint, Michigan - because of that city's public controversy with lead in the water, offers the Group an incredible opportunity to take a brand leadership position in working with municipalities and communities on a range of value-add water infrastructure solutions. WII's technology leadership will also be highlighted during this period as it begins to deploy its new proprietary sewer technology at UK municipal sites.
Dr. Patrick DeSouza, Executive Chairman, commented: "ALD-led wins during Q1 produced a strong start. These Q2 wins led by WII will add to 1H momentum and help build an exciting story for 2019. Steve Gayler, our leader at WII has the operational experience and drive to enable WII to exceed our expectations. The reputation that WII is developing for its technology and execution leadership will produce increasing levels of opportunity for the Group"
