Await news of the small acquisition: "Commercial - We continue to explore opportunities to expand our presence in the commercial tile market through a small acquisition and are in active discussions..." (RNS of 05/07)

absorbed without difficulty.

Woodford's buying in while the price is low.

like-for-like revenues down 4.74% (0.6% less if loss of 1 trading day taken into account). Tougher comparatives resulting from the changes to Stamp Duty in the prior year were a feature throughout the period and we have seen a modest improvement in trading over recent weeks as they have begun to ease.

RNS: Woodford Investment Management has 5.10%.

Little risk at these levels. Their absorption of the £'s decline is pretty impressive.

The adverse impact of the devaluation of sterling has been a key area of focus and the business has been successful in offsetting the majority of this through supplier negotiations, improved sourcing, new product development and exclusivity.
