Full steam ahead at Concurrent

Computer products developer Concurrent Technologies said sales in the second half of the year are expected to 'materially exceed' sales in the first as the recovery in the telecommunications and industrial sectors gains momentum.The company, which makes high end embedded computer products for defence, communications, transportation and industrial markets, said trading will therefore be in line with market expectations for the full year.Concurrent expects to continue the practice of paying a second interim dividend to shareholders and to pay this before 6 April 2011. However there will be no final dividend in respect of 2010, the group said.
