I am confident in the strength of our business and the clarity of our strategy, and I am working closely with stakeholders to unlock opportunities, eliminate inefficiencies and accelerate growth.” First-half underlying financial performance was robust, he said, despite weak trading conditions, rising input costs and the effects of the situation in the Middle East, the 10% adjusted operating profit being supported by “a strong contribution from Alunet and disciplined cost control”.
He added: “Demand in the RMI market remains subdued and conditions in new build housing have become increasingly challenging.
