Mitie, the outsourcer which screens baggage at Heathrow and cleans the Royal Opera House, expects revenues to rise over the next six months thanks to a clutch of contract wins.
The deals, which include its new biggest contract — a five-year, £755 million tie-up with Lloyds Banking Group — helped to push revenues up 5.6% to £1 billion in the six months to October.
Chief executive Ruby McGregor-Smith said she hoped last month’s £111 million acquisition of Enara, one of Britain’s largest home care firms, will help Mitie to expand into healthcare during the rest of this year.
She added: “This has been a positive start for Mitie.” The half-year dividend was raised 4.5% to 4.6p per share.
