Although sales to South Korea have been weaker during this period, other markets have performed well.

Demand for our UK made product continues to grow and our new kiln project is proceeding according to plan with commissioning scheduled for the final quarter of this year.

Our order book is strong and we remain positive about the outlook for the full year."
