WDS Limited
(ASX:WDS) is a provider of services to the mining and energy sectors in Australia. The company employs a large workforce of skilled people with strong technical and industry expertise capable of delivering specialist feasibility, design, engineering, manufacturing and construction and maintenance related services.
WDS’ Managing Director, Terry Chapman says, “This result was achieved amid polarised conditions in the markets in which we operate. While activity levels in our energy division were strong, our mining division was faced with the most difficult trading environment the underground coal sector has seen for several decades. These results validate our strategy of diversification, cost control and targeting of opportunities in the growing gas sector which for the past year has delivered pleasing returns to our shareholders through both capital growth and dividend."
