                    AGM Trading Statement

The  following  statement was made to  shareholders  at  the
company's Annual General Meeting today:

'We  continue  to  make good progress  with  our  long  term
strategy  of developing a leading global technical  plastics
business.   Our  new facility in the Czech  Republic  is  on
track and enquiry levels are very encouraging.  Earlier this
week  we announced the disposal of our last remaining  steel
wire  business  which  provides  resources  for  the  future
development of the group.

'In  our  latest  annual report published in  June  2001,  we
highlighted  the  strength of our medical business  and  the
resilience  of  our  automotive  business.   In  teletronics
markets,  however,  we  stated  that  conditions  had   been
disappointing and continued to be uncertain. At  that  time,
we  saw  some  signs  of improvement  in  terms  of  forward
schedules in teletronics.  These improvements have not  been
sustained  in  the  second quarter,  leading  us  to  expect
disappointing group trading for the first half.  There is no
sign  of  recovery in teletronics and, given  its  continued
uncertain  outlook, we are well advanced with a review  that
will  reduce  our UK capacity to more closely match  ongoing
market demand.

'In  specialist  wire, market conditions are challenging  but
our operations are making modest progress.

Our  US business continues to recover and we have some  good
new  programmes  in  both medical and  automotive  that  are
starting  in the second half of the current year.   We  are,
therefore,  confident  that the group  will  exit  the  year
displaying  the  momentum to deliver growth in  2002/03  and
beyond.'
