Wins Major Hotel Order in Dubai

Walker Greenbank PLC (AIM: WGB), the luxury interior furnishings group whose brands include Sanderson, Morris & Co., Harlequin and Zoffany, is pleased to announce that its contracts division has won a £280,000 order to supply fabric for a prestigious new hotel in Dubai.

This significant order comprises six different Zoffany fabrics, including opulent velvets and exquisite damasks, for use in the new Aviation Club Hotel. This luxury, 10-storey hotel is being built in the grounds of the Aviation Club, one of Dubai's best-known leisure and recreation resorts.

Walker Greenbank's contracts division, which was created in 2005, has increased its focus on all of the major markets in the Middle East, where the continued pace of development of luxury projects creates significant opportunities for the use of the Company's fabrics.

John Sach, Walker Greenbank's Chief Executive, said: "We are delighted to have won this substantial order for the new Aviation Club Hotel in Dubai, underlining the sales potential of our brands globally. Recently we appointed an additional export manager to focus primarily on the Middle East as part of our strategy to build export sales internationally."
