The company's CEO, Steven Boland, said: "Our strategy to build a substantial Industrial Access division to complement our market leading Construction Services division, is delivering strong results.

Ampol Ltd (ASX: ALD)
The Ampol share price is up 2% to $34.53. This has been driven by news that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has approved its acquisition of EG Australia. As part of the deal, Ampol has agreed to sell 41 sites to Metro Petroleum. Ampol's CEO, Matt Halliday, said: "This transaction is a major step in delivering Ampol's strategy by strengthening our retail network and enhancing our segmented customer offer.
