Annual General Meeting statement
At the Annual General Meeting of FW Thorpe Plc to be held at
3.15pm today, Chairman, Mike Allcock, publishes the following
statement:
"I am pleased to report that during the first few months of the
2020/21 financial year, despite the significant issues generally in
the global economy, orders and revenue remain broadly similar when
compared to the same period last year.
As mentioned in my recent full-year statement, the Lightronics
factory was significantly fire damaged on 23 September. Within a
few days, local management had secured a new temporary production
facility, and it was operational swiftly with only a minimal impact
upon customer service. Insurance assessments have now allowed for
an initial payment to be made, with funds deployed to replace
damaged stock and production equipment. The areas worst affected
have been demolished, and rebuilding plans are underway.
Whilst management is satisfied with the current order situation,
with order books around the Group generally healthy, both the
COVID-19 pandemic effect and Brexit transition concerns are
foremost in our minds. We plan for the future carefully, but at
this present time we remain cautious about the Group's second-half
performance."
