Growth in 2022 

EXPANDED CUSTOMER PORTFOLIO, GROWTH AND A STRONG ORDER BOOK 

Along with revenue growth and a strong order book for 2023, we have also succeeded in our strategic goal of expanding our customer portfolio within infrastructure and utilities. 

In the financial year, we reached a net revenue of DKK 346 million (2021: DKK 326 million), which corresponds to a growth of 6% compared to 2021. Operating profit amounted to DKK 7.6 million (2021: DKK 5.7 million). The Danish accounts are affected by a major project that has challenged us, but it has now been completed. 

Atkins Sweden formally constitutes a subsidiary of Atkins Denmark in our group structure. For Atkins Sverige AB, 2022 was a challenging year on the financial front, and the result for Atkins Danmark A/S therefore ends up negative overall (DKK -14m before tax) despite growth and the positive result from operating activities. 

STRENGTHENED KEY POSITION AND EXPANDED PORTFOLIO 

We have seen increased activity in the infrastructure market following the adoption of the Infrastructure Plan for 2021, and our order book and pipeline are strong, as well as growth in our activities in the energy and utilities market. 

In 2022, we have focused on both the start-up and execution of a number of large infrastructure projects and on developing the portfolio in terms of both customers and services. 

In addition, we have expanded our portfolio with the addition and implementation of an increasing number of projects where digitalization, sustainability and climate play a significant role. For example, on the projects new railway across Vestfyn and Hillerød motorway extension, we have used BIM in the form of object classification and 5D and used 3D communication platforms such as DALUX and iTwin. On the Fehmarnbelt project, we have carried out screening of sustainability initiatives, for DSB we have created an inspirational catalogue regarding sustainable renovation of stations and station yards, and in connection with the replacement of a road bridge on Tuborgvej, we have made LCA calculations for two selected options for renovating the bridge. 

I am proud that we have succeeded in growing and am pleased that 2023 is looking good. With a high level of activity, we will need even more skilled colleagues to help us solve the tasks.

ESTABLISHING A SUSTAINABILITY NETWORK AND FOCUS ON DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION 

In 2022, we have further advanced our activities within our strategic initiatives; sustainability, climate and digital transformation. In 2022, we established a sustainability network that supports our goal of making sustainability a part of everything we do and an integral part of the services we provide to our customers. 

We have followed the path we set out in 2021 to develop our workplace in a more flexible, digital, inclusive and sustainable direction. 2022 was the year when our head office in Ørestad moved to new premises in a DGNB Gold certified building designed for the flexible workplace, which has helped strengthen the professional and social community. 

HIGH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION – AGAIN! 

We have once again succeeded in raising our already excellent overall customer satisfaction to 8.8 on a 10-point scale (2021: 8.7). 

We are proud of our high customer satisfaction, which is first and foremost due to the good collaboration between our customers and skilled colleagues, who show great creativity, professionalism and commitment in solving tasks every day.

PROFESSIONAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT 

In 2022, we offered a wide range of internships, student jobs and opportunities to write bachelor, graduation and industrial PhD projects in collaboration with us as a company. We also managed to run 26 internal courses/training programs and participated in external courses, fairs and conferences. As part of our strategy, we focus on ensuring that all employees in 2023 continue to further develop their skills in digitalization and sustainability in their professional field. 

In 2022, we also resumed the study trips that were put on hold during the corona pandemic. In total, six departments have been on trips that have strengthened the professional and social community and provided renewed inspiration for the work. 

In 2022, we also welcomed many new colleagues who, across our areas of expertise, contribute to our Danish and international projects with their own professional skills. Once again, a big welcome to all our new colleagues – and we still have room for more. 

2023: PROMISING ACTIVITY AND CONTINUED TRANSITION TO THE FUTURE 

We are well into the year and the activity in the market is promising. We have a strong order book, and we expect stable activity for the rest of the year. In 2023, we will continue to develop within sustainability, climate and digital solutions, and we look forward to continue good collaboration with customers and partners.
