Update on non-core disposal programme
● Decision to retain European nuclear
business
● North American nuclear operations disposal to
continue
On 2 March 2017, Amec Foster Wheeler announced it had launched a
competitive process to sell its nuclear business. This process
created a high level of interest and yielded a number of attractive
bids.
In consultation with the board of John Wood Group, the Board of
Amec Foster Wheeler has decided to retain the European nuclear
business, and to proceed only with the disposal of the North
American business. Completion of this disposal is expected later
this year.
In the full year results for 2016, the North American nuclear
operations contributed revenue of £83m and trading profit of
£1m.
