Commenting on the results, John O’Higgins, Chief Executive, said:
“Trading improved during the second quarter across all segments. We remain encouraged both by the strong overall level of our opportunity pipeline and the expected delivery of our planned £10 million net cost savings for the full year. Our businesses are strategically well positioned and, assuming the improved trading conditions seen in the second quarter continue, the Board of Spectris is confident it will deliver full year performance in line with its expectations.”
