Annual General Meeting statement
At the Annual General Meeting of F W Thorpe Plc, Chairman, Andrew Thorpe, made the following statement.
"Now comes to the time to say a few words on the future:-
I am pleased to be able to say that the new financial year has brought a modest continuation in our trading fortunes with sales, at this time, being above last year.
The national and global financial conditions remain, as they have in recent times, to be most volatile, however your company continues to invest in all areas of the business to improve manufacturing capability and to develop further new and improved customer offerings.
The thirst for energy saving in the use of lighting remains a key driver for our company."
