Infrastructure solutions group Costain has agreed to sell its Alcaidesa business, which owns and operates two golf courses in Cadiz, Spain, for €15.2m in cash.

The company said on Wednesday that it would book a loss of £8.9m from the sale, which will be included in its 2019 financial statements as a one-off non-cash charge.
