Churchill China says trading will be 'well ahead' of expectations

Performance ceramics manufacturer Churchill China updated the market on its trading for the six months ended 30 June on Wednesday, reporting that it continued to make “good progress” against its strategic objectives.

The board of the AIM-traded firm said that, in the first six months of the year, it achieved better-than-expected levels of growth in Europe, which it claimed reflected its investment in market and product development.

“We now anticipate trading performance will be ahead of our earlier expectations for the full year,” the board said in its short statement.

Churchill China said its interim results for the six months to 30 June would be announced on 30 August.
