Chris Holmes, Chairman of Carr's Group, commented:
"We are pleased to have delivered a strong financial performance in the year, moderately ahead of the Board's expectations, despite unseasonable weather significantly impacting trading across our Agriculture division.
"We also made good strategic progress during the year, including acquisitions across both divisions where integration is progressing well. In Agriculture, we are excited by plans to develop Animax, acquired in September 2018, into a centre of excellence for innovation and product development for the wider Agriculture division.
"Our Engineering division delivered a strong performance, building on momentum in the prior year. We believe the newly established structure of our Engineering division will position us better for sustainable growth, enabling closer collaboration between businesses and better business development.
"I am confident, as I step down from the role of Chairman at the AGM in January, that I leave the Company in an excellent position to build upon on its strong market positions and capabilities, expand its international footprint and deliver sustained growth."

Chris Holmes, Chairman of Carr's Group, commented:
"We are pleased to have delivered a strong financial performance in the year, moderately ahead of the Board's expectations, despite unseasonable weather significantly impacting trading across our Agriculture division.
"We also made good strategic progress during the year, including acquisitions across both divisions where integration is progressing well. In Agriculture, we are excited by plans to develop Animax, acquired in September 2018, into a centre of excellence for innovation and product development for the wider Agriculture division.
"Our Engineering division delivered a strong performance, building on momentum in the prior year. We believe the newly established structure of our Engineering division will position us better for sustainable growth, enabling closer collaboration between businesses and better business development.
"I am confident, as I step down from the role of Chairman at the AGM in January, that I leave the Company in an excellent position to build upon on its strong market positions and capabilities, expand its international footprint and deliver sustained growth."
