Chief Executive Officer Bernard Kumeta commented: "The company that I joined in April of this year had lost its way in an increasingly demanding and competitive market place and a lack of a clear strategy had created a malaise within the business and disaffection amongst shareholders."
A re-structuring of the group was completed in October which has resulted in significant annual cost savings and placed the business on a much more sound financial footing, Kumeta added.
Net debt, including external debt and intra company debt, was reduced to £5.451m compared to £6.890m last year.
