Johnson says it is confident on the year ahead
DRY cleaning-to-clothes-hire firm Johnson Service Group posted a surge in first-half adjusted pre-tax profit yesterday, aided by robust trading amid tough market conditions.
It said it was confident of achieving satisfactory results for the year.
The company also said it would resume dividend payments with an interim payout of 0.25p per share.
“Against a difficult trading background, Johnson Service has delivered a solid set of interim figures,”said analyst Robert Morton of Investec Securities.
