Vestas, the world’s largest wind turbine maker, has reported a big jump in quarterly profits after increasing deliveries of turbines.

Net profit for July to September came in at 165m euros ($246m; £150m), up 70% on the 97m euros recorded a year ago. Revenue rose to 1.81bn euros from 1.76bn euros a year ago.

Vestas workers staged a sit-in protest at its site in the Isle of Wight this summer, after the firm shut the factory there with the loss of 425 jobs.
