HAVELOCK EUROPA PLC
("Havelock" or the "Company")
Result of Annual General Meeting
Havelock Europa (HVE.L), the retail and educational interiors group, announces that the resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held earlier today, as set out in the notice issued on 24 May 2013, were all duly approved by shareholders.
David MacLellan, Chairman of Havelock Europa made the following statement at the AGM:
"In an economic environment that remains challenging and competitive, the Group has seen activity in the first half of the year at a lower level than in the comparable period last year. However, discussions with our principal customers give us confidence that activity will pick up and we anticipate a busy second half. Additionally, the Company has now completed its first projects in the growing healthcare and student accommodation markets and levels of new business enquiries in these areas are encouraging.
"We are starting to invest in our manufacturing operations to increase capacity and reduce costs. We have taken delivery of a laser cutting machine which will be operational soon and delivering benefits during the peak summer period."
