'In our Preliminary Results statement of 15 March 2004 we said 'the outlook is
more encouraging now than it has been for the past three years' and I am pleased
to say this remains our view.


Trading in the first quarter of the current year is ahead of budget with the
order book increasing still further over the period.  Consequently we remain
confident of good progress being maintained.'
