Commenting on the results, Giles Weaver, Chairman, said:

“Helical has done many of its best deals in challenging markets and we are certainly more confident of being able to source interesting deals at sensible prices over the next couple of years than over the last two. We remain a relatively small, nimble company where future purchases will continue to have a marked impact on our performance.”
