RETURN OF GOVERNMENT FURLOUGH FUNDS
Ultimate Products, the owner, manager, designer and developer of an extensive range of value-focused consumer goods brands, announces that it has taken the decision to repay the GBP465,237 that it has received under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ('furlough scheme') and does not intend to make any further claims under the furlough scheme or for the associated Job Retention Bonus.
The Group is also no longer utilising the Government Time to Pay and VAT deferral schemes. All VAT and PAYE payments are up to date as at 31 July 2020.
These payments are possible because the Group's profitability and cash generation have been stronger than expected during this crisis.
The Group will provide a more detailed update in its scheduled Pre-Close Trading Statement on 7 September 2020.
Simon Showman, Chief Executive of Ultimate Products, commented:
"The furlough scheme allowed us to work through the significant challenges that COVID-19 initially caused for our business. We are grateful to the government and the taxpayer for providing us with this support. As a result of the outstanding resilience, hard work and professionalism of our people, the outlook for our business is now much clearer. Returning this money to the taxpayer is therefore the right and proper thing for us to do.
"As the effects of COVID-19 continue to be felt globally, and particularly in Oldham at the present time, we are determined to carry on supporting local charities and initiatives in order to help ease the hardship felt by many in the communities in which we are proud to operate."
