The Group has focused on developing the organisation to meet the rapid growth in customer demand and has, since 1st July 2010, taken on 285 new personnel to support this growth, as well as to continue the development of new products and processes to maintain this growth into the future. Headcount at the end of March 2011 was 2,384, compared with 2,099 at the start of the financial year and there are currently 293 vacancies throughout the Group, 235 in the UK and 58 overseas.

Plus increased cash.

Sleep soundly:-)

'Ahead of current market expectations' is the key.

Further progress.

I like this

"Outlook
Current activity levels remain strong and broadly in line with the run-rate for the year to date. On this basis, the Board looks forward to record results and anticipates that pre-tax profits for the year will be ahead of current market expectations, which have a consensus of around GBP75m* for pre-tax profits."

However the share price has been pushed up in the last month so may already be priced in. I would not be surprised if some profit taking this morning but a weak £ should significantly help their overeas sales which account for some 95% of sales.

And they are. Looking very strong to me.

Look at this go today. Spirax resposible I'd guess.

[broadwood] 06/4/2011 15:31

A lovely run up today after a quiet few weeks. No worries on this one.

Bought in today at 1544. Have been dithering over this one for a while due to scarily high P/E and Japan but finally decided this is buying opportunity at current level.

20% of sales are to Japan ?

[a3477681] 17/3/2011 17:56

I bought in today at 1532. Just hoping this nasty looking graph is going to pull out. Such a great company and wished I had discovered it earlier. I guess profits are being taken whilst all this bad news is in the air. Or perhaps there is some other rational like the Japan situation will effect them, although understand that china is biggest customer.

No chance of a successful bid - McMurtry & Deer control more than 50%. They will not sell.

[broadwood] 10/3/2011 08:14

Third day - the races again.

[broadwood] 09/3/2011 10:51

Smoke,fire? What's going on?

[broadwood] 09/3/2011 09:05

Yep - we're off to the races again.

[goldennugget1] 08/3/2011 17:16

Solid performance.

Looking good.

[broadwood] 08/3/2011 16:28

Blimey - bid rumours?

[cockneyrebel] 08/3/2011 10:09
