Ola Serneke, CEO Serneke Group, comments:

“On the positive side, we saw continued good order bookings for the contracting operations during the quarter and considerable underlying need for public investment in housing, schools and other public properties.”

“We are not satisfied with the earnings trend or the declining growth. We face the challenges ahead with considerable humility, but also with determination and vigor. During the third quarter, we worked intensively to plan a major reorganization as part of a package of measures aimed at ensuring the company’s long-term competitiveness.”
