Both the core businesses of Crestchic and
Tasman have good sustainable growth opportunities
in the future when their markets recover to more

Tasman’s revenue was £10.5 million (2014: £14.7 million), a decline of 28.4%, and Crestchic’s revenue was £22.8 million (2014: £28.6 million), a decline of 20.4%.
The Group incurred exceptional items during the year totalling £7.2 million (2014: £0.7 million). This was due to the costs of exiting non-core businesses, the sale of surplus assets, the impairment of intangible assets and the cost reduction exercise.
