Shopfitter Havelock Europe saw group revenue from continuing operations rise by 17% to £38.5m in the first half of 2012 from £32.9m the year before. The underlying pre-tax loss narrowed to £1.2m from a loss of £2.8m the previous year. The good news is that the company made a profit after tax of £7.3m, versus a loss of £1.1m in the first half of 2011, after trousering an exceptional gain of £8.0m from the sale of its print division. Group net debt eased to £2.3m from £13.7m. "Looking ahead, the markets will continue to remain challenging. However, we are in a much stronger position to deliver continued progress in the second half aided by an increased order book both in the UK and overseas," revealed Eric Prescott, Havelock's CHief Executive Officer.
