Commenting on today’s Trading Update, Connie Mixon, CEO, said:

“Our partnership with Schlumberger is progressing well with the global marketing initiative currently underway.

“Our progress as a business is firmly underpinned by industry’s requirement for innovative technologies to manage their water requirements.”

“We are pleased to confirm that we will meet guidance for 2016. Looking ahead, this year is expected to continue to show an improved financial performance. However, market uncertainty remains the reality and accurate 2017 full year guidance remains difficult at this stage.
