Trading Update and Directorate Change
Trading Update
Metalrax, the niche supplier of specialist engineering and
consumer durable products, today provides an update on trading
prior to the release of its preliminary results on 19 March 2012
for the year ended 31 December 2011.
The directors anticipate that the Group's performance for the
full year ended 31 December 2011 will be in line with market
expectations.
Cash flow from operations continues to be positive and
management has continued to make good progress in reducing net
debt, which has consistently been lower than anticipated.
With regards to the coming year, the well-publicised
macro-economic uncertainty in many world economies is concerning.
The Group has seen some weakening in forward order books but it is
too early to say whether this is the start of a trend. However,
management continues to focus on growth initiatives, margin
improvement, overheads, working capital controls and prudent asset
investment
Directorate Change
Metalrax is pleased to announce the appointment of Caroline
Green as Group Finance Director of Metalrax Group PLC with
immediate effect.
Caroline Inez Green, aged 43, has been a member of the senior
management team at Metalrax since 2008 and most recently, as
Director of Corporate Development, has been responsible for
non-core asset disposal to reduce gearing, growth initiatives,
investor relations, group communications, the property portfolio,
and the Group's future M&A strategy. Caroline has recently
completed a 5-year term as a non-executive director of the charity
The MS Society.
Andrew Walker, Chairman, said:
"I am delighted to be welcoming Caroline to the Board of
Metalrax. Caroline has been an integral member of the senior
management team at Metalrax for a number of years. This promotion
to the Board is well deserved and I look forward to working with
Caroline in her new role."
