Carr’s Group’s Speciality Agriculture division serves farmers in the UK, Ireland, the United States, Germany, Canada and New Zealand with feed blocks and feed supplements. The Engineering division offers remote handling equipment and fabrications to the global nuclear and oil and gas industries.

The Engineering division order book was up 47% to £60m, assisted by positive medium-term fundamentals from nuclear and defence, while 85% coverage for FY24 suggests the focus is on execution. Speciality Agriculture had an improved Q124 with UK volumes up 20% although cost pressure remains. The group has a new executive management team in place with a strategy to deliver in Engineering and improve in Speciality Agriculture, along with a strong balance sheet to support investment where required.
