Northern Bear makes good trading progress in first half

Northern Bear updated the market on its trading for the six month period to 30 September on Thursday, reporting that its unaudited interim results would show operating profit ahead of prior year results.

The AIM-traded firm had said in its last annual report that the current financial year had started well, and that it continued to hold a “high level” of committed orders.

“The group continues to hold a significant order book and we are optimistic for continued strong trading in the second half of the financial year ending 31 March 2019,” the Northern Bear board said in its statement.

Northern Bear said its unaudited interim results would be released in mid-November.
