Waterman 'UK first' strategy boosts profit

摘要

Engineering group Waterman has said its strategy of targeting growth in its home UK market is paying off, after posting jumps in pre-tax profit and revenue in half-year results to December 2014, writes Iain Withers. Waterman - which exited its Russian and UAE markets in its 2013-14 financial year to focus on its domestic market, Ireland, Poland and Australia - said the "strength of the UK economy" had boosted its figures.
