FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 30 July 2014
THE STANLEY GIBBONS GROUP PLC ("the Company")
Trading Statement
Ahead of the Annual General Meeting being held later today, the Board of the Company updates the market with the following Trading Statement:
"Trading for the first six months to 30 September 2014 is expected to be in line with the Board's expectations, although is subject to the completion of some large sales to key clients, expected in August.
The implementation of our strategy remains on target with testing and development of the new Stanley Gibbons branded online marketplace progressing well in the short period since the announcement of our final results last month and remains on schedule for launch later in the year.
The integration of Noble continues to progress well and in line with our plans. The works being undertaken at 399 Strand, London are on schedule for completion in September this year which will enable the integration of the Baldwin's and Stanley Gibbons' teams and the sale of our freehold property at Adelphi Terrace.
The strength and quality of our stockholding at this time, current sales initiatives and the known, significant auction consignments coming through leave the Company well placed for the remainder of the year."
