Clarkson sees FY results ahead of market expectations

Shipping services firm Clarkson said on Friday that results for the year to the end of December were set to be ahead of current market expectations.

In a very brief update, the company attributed this to strong trading throughout the final quarter, particularly from the broking division.

It now expects underlying pre-tax profit of no less than £98m.

The full-year results are due to be published on 6 March.
