AEA delivers upbeat report
9:38am Tuesday 8th April 2008
Bosses at climate and energy consultancy AEA Technology have delivered an upbeat assessment of the company's fortunes.
The Harwell-based firm said trading had remained strong to the end of the financial year on March 31 and predicted its pre-tax profits would be "slightly ahead of market expectations" while debt would be lower than expected.
The Group has continued to retain and develop projects as well as win new work from the public sector uncluding the recently announced five-year extension to Defra's air quality monitoring programme, worth £5m.
Orders for the coming year are described as "healthy" with significant opportunities in the United States, Europe and China.
AEA's preliminary results, will be announced in mid-June.

Eye, Cap'n: A Roger Moore Special
It’s hard to believe that Sir Roger Moore is 80 because he’s as sharp as a knife and as self-mocking as ever.
United go down to narrow defeat
Altrincham 1 (Little 64), Oxford Utd 0 OXFORD United paid for not turning dominance into goals as they fell to a sucker punch at Moss Lane on Sunday.
KISS BAR, PARK END ST, OXFORD
Kiss Bar is next to Lava & Ignite on Park End Street, and I’m guessing that not everyone will have set foot there before. This is more because it’s so tiny rather than being any reflection of how good it is.
Status Quo (supported by Luke White) @ the New Theatre
Swaying back and forth in unison to the riffs bouncing off their guitars, you know what to expect with Status Quo. Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.
