Aggreko profits boost expected in Olympics year

FAST-growing Glasgow-based temporary power company Aggreko could see profit upgrades of up to 20% this year as it benefits from sporting events such as the London Olympics, Kames Capital, part of Edinburgh-based insurer Aegon, has predicted.

Aggreko has had a strong run over the past three years. In the last 12 months its share price has risen 44% as a result of increasing demand for its services for sporting events and to fill the power gap in emerging economies.
