  Year ending March 2009

Sales for the year were maintained and profits significantly increased as the group consolidated its operations on the three main plants (Leeds, Sheffield, Precision) and improved their manufacturing efficiencies.

However, at the year end the effects of the global slump were already being felt, with order input down by an unprecedented amount.

Despite this, the group continued to trade at satisfactory profit levels and with good positive cash flow throughout the calendar year of 2009. At the time of writing there is evidence of a modest improvement in demand in most markets.

My particular thanks are due to all the employees for their continued committment and support during this very difficult period.
