For the 6 months ended 30 June 2016, Langley Holdings plc, the diverse engineering and industrial group, reported a profit before tax of €48.9 million, compared with €37.8 million during the same period last year.
In his half year review, the group's chairman, Tony Langley, announced that the result "exceeded expectations" and that he is anticipating a full year profit before tax of €112 million - a 6% increase on 2015.
Commenting on Brexit, Langley says he does not expect the UK's recent referendum decision to leave the European Union will have a substantial effect on the group "one way or the other".
