DCC ‘on course’ for bumper financial year

The Dublin-headquartered diversified support services group — which now has its main share listing in London and sterling as its reporting currency — yesterday published an upbeat trading update to coincide with its agm.
In it, the group — whose financial year runs until the end of March — said overall operating profit for its first quarter (the three months to the end of June) was in line with budget and strong growth was seen across the energy, healthcare and environmental divisions; albeit with a weaker performance evident from the DCC Technology business.
