On 7th December 2005, Ultraframe plc, Ultraframe (UK) Ltd’s parent company, announced their preliminary results for the financial year ending 30th September 2005. They also stated that plc Group have initiated a strategic review to explore options for the Group to maximise shareholder value.

Vanda Murray OBE, Managing Director, Ultraframe (UK) Ltd: “This is a normal part of the remit of any plc board and as such, it’s much too early to speculate on the outcome of the review. It’s important to state that it is business as usual for the UK business. We have a clear strategy which is delivering to our expectations.
