Planning For the Future

The contract was awarded following a competitive tender and demonstrates AAAHI’s long track record of contract retention.

“Contract retention remains a key pillar of our global growth strategy and we’re pleased with the recent outcome of AAAHI’s competitive tender with the State of Colorado’s Department of Transportation,” said Kelsian Group Managing Director Clint Feuerherdt. “Securing up to US$26.5M in revenue in the first year, the contract represents a strategic achievement for our operations in North America. Expansion opportunities also give scope to potentially more than double the existing services to the State of Colorado throughout the contract term.”
