Post close trading update
The Board of Directors of Christie Group plc (CTG.L), the
leading provider of Professional & Financial Services and Stock
& Inventory Systems & Services to the hospitality, leisure,
healthcare, medical, childcare & education and retail sectors,
has issued the following statement:
"The Board of Christie Group plc is pleased to announce that
following a period of stronger trading and increased revenue it
will (subject to forthcoming audit) have generated an operating
profit, after restructuring costs, for the second half of the year
ended 31st December 2020.
After successful reorganisation of two of its trading
businesses, the Group has entered 2021 with the benefit of lower
operating costs.
The Group's licensed stocktaking business, Venners, is currently
supressed due to the governments' closure of the hospitality
sector. Staff are on furlough pending the reopening of
hospitality.
Our Agency & Advisory practice, Christie & Co, is
currently experiencing an increase in demand from insolvency
practitioners whilst business buyer demand remains very strong.
In view of the current lockdowns in the UK & Europe, we
envisage our trading for 2021 will be weighted to the second
half.
Our closing cash position is ahead of expectation and we remain
well resourced."
