Redhall Group plc

("Redhall" or the "Group")

 

AGM STATEMENT

At the Annual General Meeting of Redhall Group plc, to be held later today, Chairman, David Jackson, will make the following statement:

Overall trading during the first quarter of the current financial year was in line with management expectations. Our Energy division has performed well, Defence is in line and Process continues to face competitive market conditions.

 

We are pleased to announce the award of preferred bidder status on a major new construction project for Vivergo Fuels Limited in partnership with Aker Solutions Limited. The project, estimated to be worth £18 million, involves the construction of a new bio-ethanol plant at the existing BP Chemicals Salt End site and is due to be completed by the end of October 2010. The project has been won by Chieftain Group working with Jex Engineering and underlines the technical skills inherited with these two acquisitions. We have indicated in an earlier statement that the benefits of the Chieftain acquisition would become evident during the course of this year and this award further validates that strategic move.

 

This major contract win further strengthens our order book for the current financial year and the first quarter of 2010/11. Our strategy of focus on the key energy and defence markets is delivering benefits although conditions remain challenging in the short term. Our order pipeline remains strong and we expect to announce further progress at our interim results on 3 June 2010.
