Retail and corporate clients remaking up for weaker public sector demand. The new ranges of educational and healthcare furniture have been successfully launched.

Net debt was £2.74m at the end of 2016 and the bank facilities have been extended until April 2018. The gross pension deficit was £9.4m and deficit funding payments of £700,000 for 2017 have been deferred to 2018.

Havelock was loss-making last year. A pre-tax profit of £600,000 is forecast for this year, rising to £900,000 in 2018.
