Annual General Meeting statement

At the Annual General Meeting of F W Thorpe Plc, Chairman, Andrew Thorpe, will make the following statement.
Β
"The year just passed has been challenging due to its unusual nature. The early Spring 2012 lull in orders cast a shadow throughout the rest of the year and despite order input being up almost every further month compared to the preceding year, we were always playing catch up.
Β
Coupled with two poorly performing subsidiaries, now trading profitably, this gave us a difficult task.
Β
As for the current year I am pleased to report that we had no "lull" to contend with and trading is giving us room for confidence."
