"Our robust financial and operating performance against the background of an exceptionally difficult trading environment has, we believe, confirmed our strong position in the UK structural steelwork sector. Pleasingly, we have succeeded in growing our market share not only in structural steelwork but particularly in the markets served by our innovative safety solutions company, where easi-edge and hoard-it have an ever increasing and strong customer base. The Group forward order book has increased recently and is now as good as we have enjoyed for over three years, although margins remain disappointing."
