Portmeirion Group PLC has previously referred to the consolidation of its
manufacturing operations from two sites onto one to improve efficiency and
reduce costs while maintaining current production levels. The Group is pleased
to announce that, following the successful completion of this project, the sale
of the redundant manufacturing site has now been completed. The 1.9 acre site,
situated in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, together with buildings and equipment not
required for ongoing manufacturing was sold for £700,000 in cash. The sale will
result in an exceptional gain of approximately £200,000.
