Bert van der Els, chairman of Executive Board / CEO Heijmans:
"I am not satisfied with our result. It simply has to improve. We believe that the strong growth in our order book right across the board and the increasingly stronger recovery in the residential market offer a clear perspective for improvements. We will continue with our improve the core program, which focuses on purchasing, tender and project management, will certainly help us to achieve this. We are fully committed to this course and I expect the operating result to improve the coming periods. The acquisition of prestigious and integrated projects, such as the N23 and Eurojust, plus the PPP projects A9, RIVM and A12 demonstrate the quality of our business and the opportunities for the future. We will be devoting a great deal of time to the preparation for these projects. The recruitment of the chief technology officer will accelerate our innovation portfolio even further. As a centrally managed organisation, we focus on projects in which this strength creates added value for our clients."
