UK recovery remains “distant” says Severfield Rowen

The chief executive of structural steel group Severfield-Rowen will tell shareholders today that a broad recovery of the UK remains distant as it focuses on sectors where activity is being sustained.

In a statement ahead of the firm’s annual general meeting today, Tom Haughey said that the Thirsk-based firm will continue to concentrate on opportunities in the industrial, transportation, waste to energy and commercial offices sectors.

He said the company remains optimistic about prospects and development potential for its joint venture in India.
