As I am sure you are all too aware, 2009 has been a particularly
hard year all round. Hopefully 2010 will see a turn round in the poor
economic climate we are now in, like most businesses we too have been
hit hard by the downturn, sales have remained quite stable, but profits
are now at an all time low, mainly due to high increases in over heads and
raw material costs being hit by the euro. With this in mind increases for 2010
are a bit higher than I would have liked, I am very sorry about this, but I really
have no choice.
