[$$] G4S profits dented by staff compensation charges
G4S, the world’s biggest security company, reported a 63 per cent drop in full-year pre-tax profits after it compensated thousands of employees for lost meal and rest breaks. The company, which employs 570,000 staff across 90 countries, has been forced to pay between £100m and £130m to settle a lawsuit covering 13,500 staff employed between 2001 and 2010 in California. The agreement followed G4S’s previous settlements of two class action lawsuits in California in 2015 and 2017 that were similar in nature and size but cost it £9m in 2018.

Serco swims against outsourcing tide with bright 2019 outlook
Britain's Serco raised its 2019 profit and revenue forecasts on Thursday, buoyed by a run of recent contract wins that mark a bright spot in a troubled outsourcing sector beset by what CEO Rupert Soames called "the fog of Brexit". Under Soames, a grandson of British wartime prime minister Winston Churchill, Serco is at the tail end of restructuring and has focused on winning business abroad and cutting costs.

Britain to tackle doubts about outsourcing risks with new guidelines
Britain's government will take measures to identify and reduce risks taken by private firms that provide public services, it will say on Wednesday, in a bid to encourage companies that have become increasingly wary of taking on new government business. Britain, which hires private firms to run parts of its health service, schools, prisons and public transport, has been rethinking how it awards contracts after the collapse of contractor Carillion just over a year ago. "A more considered approach to risk allocation will make us a smarter, more attractive client to do business with," cabinet office minister Oliver Dowden will tell business leaders at the Confederation of British Industry on Wednesday.

Too little too late? No-deal Brexit planning shakes service suppliers
From Britain's hospitals and schools to its prisons and armed forces, firms supplying essential public services have been asked by the government to outline plans for a no-deal Brexit. "The government has written to some of us asking us 'what are you doing in preparation for a no-deal?' - which is timely, at eight weeks to go," one industry source told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. Private firms including Babcock, Capita, Serco, G4S, Mitie and Compass play a central role in providing Britain's public services, which means they have to procure medicines, toiletries, food, spare parts and labour, much of which come from the EU.

Brexit-sensitive British stocks wilt as worries return after PM vote
Britain's Brexit-sensitive domestic stocks fell on Thursday as investors decided Prime Minister Theresa May's victory in a leadership challenge clarified little in the country's protracted divorce from the European Union. The mid-cap FTSE 250 index (.FTMC) ended the day down 0.8 percent, giving up early gains as worries that a disorderly Brexit would hurt the economy returned. Weak results from retailers Sports Direct and Bonmarche also dragged the market down, denting investors' appetite for stocks sensitive to slowing consumer spending.

Brighter Serco prospects boost shares as plans bear fruit
Serco (SRP.L) expects revenue to start to grow for the first time in six years in 2019 as it finally starts to reap the rewards of an overhaul but the British outsourcer asked investors to be patient on the restoration of dividend payments. The services provider predicted positive free cash flow in 2018 after three years of outflows, sending its shares up as much as 10 percent. Some analysts now see Serco as a bright spot in a struggling sector and hope the company will be able next year to reinstate a dividend suspended in 2014.
Reuters•3 months agoGhost of Carillion hangs over housing contracts for UK asylum seekers
British government contracts worth 4 billion pounds to house asylum seekers have drawn few bids from private firms in a sign that the collapse of Carillion has dampened appetite for riskier projects, sources involved in the process say. A decision on bids for the Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract (AASC), in which private firms provide housing for migrants in seven UK regions is due to be made before Christmas. Britain hands out 200 billion pounds of public work to private firms every year but this is the most significant services contract since Carillion, a provider of defence, education, health and transport services, collapsed in January.

The Reading-based outsourcer, which employs 75,000 worldwide and has thousands of UK government contracts to clean hospitals and serve school meals, said on Sunday it would seek to cut its debt to 1.5 times core earnings in talks with lenders it hopes to complete early next year. Chief Executive Debbie White said that the company was trading well and in line with expectations for 2018, and that the debt reduction plan, first floated in a refinancing in April, had government support. Carillion's (CLLN.L) collapse in a mass of debt and pensions dues in January forced the government to step in to guarantee services ranging from roadworks to school meals and led to a parliamentary inquiry into the extent to which private companies should be running essential services.
