The company's Chairman, Nigel Howard, noted the turbulent macroeconomic conditions.
"During the first half of 2012, traditionally our more profitable trading period, we have delivered a strong performance in profit and operating cash generation," he said.

"With a strong forward order book, the company is trading in line with the board's expectations for the full year and we expect 2012 to be a year of further progress," he added.
