WS Atkins trading stronger after dip

Award-winning consultancy firm WS Atkins Ireland is doing well again after trading through the very difficult years of the recession.

That is according to the firm’s directors in its 2014 accounts, which says the company’s pre-tax profits plummeted from €396,291 in 2013 to €542 in the 12 months to the end of March last year.

The firm has offices in Cork, Dublin and Galway and the recently filed accounts show the business recorded the sharp drop in pre-tax profits despite gross profit declining only marginally from €2.35m to €2.348m.
