Solihull-based Hill & Smith (www.hill-smith.co.uk) continues to perform well, despite more-challenging conditions in its UK markets.

The international group, which employs over 4,000 people, has three divisions — supplying products for roads and utilities infrastructure, as well as galvanising products.

It has reported organic sales growth of 4% for the four months to October (with currency changes adding a further 2%), taking its revenues for the period to £201.5 million.

Chief executive Derek Muir said: “Overall, conditions in many of our infrastructure end markets remain favourable, and we continue to expect the group to report good progress for 2017.”
