Strategic Review
During the first half of FY2018, Aveng undertook a "robust strategic review" to fully evaluate their financial structure and operational performance to determine the key requirements for our medium- and long-term sustainability.
Aveng announced as part of their strategic plan that they would dispose of businesses that did not support the Group's long-term strategy.[5] Aveng intends to dispose of the Grinaker-LTA and Trident Steel operating divisions first, followed by the individual Manufacturing businesses.
