Wolfhart Hauser, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Despite the economic environment, we continued to see positive trading across all our divisions and we were pleased to see Consumer Goods making solid progress.
"Moody has progressed well during this seasonally strong time period, gaining both from integration with the Intertek portfolio and from the structural recovery in the oil and gas sector.
"Our organic growth drivers remain strong, underpinned by the diversity of our different industries, services and geographies. Whilst there remains significant economic uncertainty, this diversity supports our objectives of continued high single digit organic revenue growth."
