The company on Thursday said the division had continued to perform strongly since a trading update in May and was now expected to show a 40% year-on-year first-half profit rise.
"Consequently, as a result of the continued strong momentum in Fit Out and its forward order book for the second half, together with the anticipated net prospects for the rest of the group, the Board now expects full year profit for the group to be ahead of its previous expectations," Morgan Sindall said.
