eWork Scandinavia AB: (STO:EWRK)

”eWork closes 2014 on a strong note whilst net sales, order intake and operating profit increased significantly. We have seen a positive turn of the market trend. Engineering consultants is a growing sector and we are now stepping outside the Nordic countries by introducing operations in Poland. We are well positioned for continued positive development in 2015.”
