The Chief Executive, Mr. Mark Halstead, commented:

“In the first half, we have supplied flooring to installations as diverse as the   Folies Bergère in Paris and to the Pooch Perfect TV set for Network Seven in Australia and, with profits growth and robust cash balances, it was a satisfying performance.

However, the world has changed since the turn of the year and we are focused on the security of our businesses and the immediate challenges of the Coronavirus (COVID- 19). The focus of our business has moved to our expertise in healthcare as the immediate need in many of our markets for flooring is in this sector.”
