Significant events
- “The new financial year has continued to reflect the difficult economic conditions faced by the construction and building materials sector.”
- “In February 2026 with the commencement of the war in Iran, we are starting to see difficulties in the supply of some raw materials and increases in the costs of most raw materials. The cost of fuel has increased sharply also, impacting on our ability to efficiently deliver our products.”
- “Weak economic growth and a forecast slowing of interest rate reductions mean any significant increases in activity will be towards the end of 2026, meaning trading conditions are unlikely to improve until the second half of the new financial year, hence, the directors are forecasting a reduction in profitability for the full financial year as a result.”
