The figures highlight a major improvement on 2010’s sales during the same period and Kingspan said it expects the “delicate” recovery to continue during the next quarter.
In a trading update to the City today, Kingspan said: “In the UK, the market overall has been solid with a gradual improvement in residential construction, an increase in refurbishment activity and good volumes in non-office related building activity.
“The second quarter’s pipeline would indicate the continuation of the delicate economic recovery, particularly in the UK and North America.”
