CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS TO SHAREHOLDERS AT AGM
Â
ABBEY CURRENT TRADING
Â
Â
Â
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 75th Annual General Meeting of Abbey plc. Before commencing the formalities this morning, I wish to make a brief statement about current trading.
Â
Â
Trading in the early months of the year has been reasonable. Progress continues to be made across all parts of the business.Â
Â
Â
In southern England activity continues at a subdued rate.
Â
Â
In Ireland some improvement is noticeable after a quiet summer.Â
Â
Â
On present trends the Group is on track for a satisfactory outcome this year.
Â
