In the conventional power generation market, Hayward Tyler is pleased to announce that the Company has secured a new contract from Shanghai Boiler Works in China worth over £0.6 million for the delivery of two Boiler Circulating Pumps for the 1000MW Supercritical Beijiang power plant in Tianjin Province, Northern China. Due for delivery in October and November this year, the accelerated fulfilment has been facilitated through advance capacity planning via Hayward Tyler's integrated Sales and Operations Planning process. In India, an aftermarket order due for delivery before the end of December and valued at over £0.5 million, further supports the Company's conventional power generation installed base in Chhattisgarh state.

In nuclear, following the contract wins reported in Q3, Hayward Tyler continues to explore opportunities in the UK nuclear new build market helped by increased market awareness of the Company's participation in the Civil Nuclear Sharing in Growth Programme.

Within oil & gas, the Company is receiving significant interest from the industry as a result of its subsea experience and the ability of its technology to secure greater efficiency and extraction from offshore wells. The Company anticipates being able to update the market on its developments in the oil & gas sector at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston in May where it will be exhibiting.

Expansion of Far East Sales Presence
