LONDON (Alliance News) - Commercial flooring company James Halstead PLC on Wednesday said its full-year pretax profit will be ahead year-on-year and in line with market expectations.
The company said trading in the second half of its financial year to the end of June was solid and said its pretax profit will be higher year-on-year, despite the group taking a hit to its revenue growth from sterling strength.
Shares in James Halstead were up 1.7% to 432.95 pence on Wednesday.
