Richard Jewson, Chairman of Savills plc, comments: '2001 has been a testing year with financial markets showing negative returns and many businesses latterly disrupted by the terrorist attacks in the US. Against this background Savills has performed well and I am pleased to announce pre-tax profits of £21.6m. As in previous years, the second half profit has exceeded the first half by some 14% for 2001.
'We are confident that we are in a good position to continue to increase market share and to take advantage of economic recovery when it comes in the markets in which we operate.'
