JAMES HALSTEAD PLCPre Close Trading Statement
James Halstead plc, the commercial flooring manufacturer and distributor, is providing the following trading update ahead of its interim results for the half-year to 30 December 2014.In his AGM trading update, on 5 December 2014, Mr. Geoffrey Halstead noted that he had every expectation of a record year in terms of turnover and profit.
Β
At this stage, with turnover around 6% ahead of the comparative six months, it seems clear that the first half year is in line with the Chairman's expectations.
Β
As a significant exporter the current weakness of the Euro is not helpful to our business but a stronger Sterling and the lower price of oil are compensatory in their effects on energy costs and raw material prices.
Β
Confidence in the full year is unchanged and remains positive.
