Materials manufacturer Low & Bonar reports a continuing upturn in sales in the three months to 31 May.
Like-for-like sales in this quarter were ahead of last year in all segments, the company said. 聽As a result the company has upgraded its forecasts for the full year, assuming exchange rates remain at current levels. Group results for the half year to 31 May 2010 are expected to be announced on 13 July.
