A vigorous Health & Safety culture is a pre-requisite and it is gratifying to report that the British Safety Council 4 star rating has been retained, alongwith the ROSPA Gold standard throughout the Group. The overall accident rate continues to be considerably below the national average and a major point of focus for the last year, has been collaboration with the supply chain to harmonize its performance. The Group was also the recipient of six national awards for environmental performance during the year.

The attraction, development and retention of high quality employees are of paramount importance to the Group. The Staff Stability Index of 87.40% is impressive. In spite of the difficult economic conditions, the focus has to be to the future and both the graduate and apprenticeship programmes have been maintained, alongwith the levels of training. 2940 training days were undertaken during the year, equating to an average of 2.92 days per employee (2011 : 2.19).

The Board is committed to improving the Group's performance year on year and takes its responsibility very seriously. The Group is a member of the Business In The Community. Last year's performance and data are detailed in the CSR report.

Financing

The Group's credit facilities continue to remain adequate for the foreseeable future. Cash at the year end stands at GBP5.07 million (2011 : GBP9.23 million), which is an outflow from the previous year of GBP4.16 million. This is largely due to the cash outflow on the major problematical building contract.

Outlook

The secured order book for the current financial year is circa GBP130 million and this excludes the recent capital maintenance framework that has been awarded to Nomenca by United Utilities. This coupled with the restructuring and cost reduction programme already implemented, gives the Board the confidence to recommend the final dividend at 3.0 pence per share, making a total of 4.5 pence for the year.
