Pre-Close Trading Update For The 12 Months Ended August 2017 – Revenue and PBT to be slightly ahead of analysts expectations. Order book is the largest it’s ever been. A good positive update for this company which is up 400% since being introduced in 2013. Worth noting though that it appears that analysts have been revising expectations down the past 12 months. Nevertheless this seems like positive stuff.

Pre-Close Trading Update For The 12 Months Ended September 2017 – Positive – Revenue expected to be £151m (forecast on Stockopedia was £145.5m).
