Hard wearing

Article Abstract:

Howle is a United Kingdom engineering firm which has seen a drop in its stock prices, partly because of market sentiment which has moved against small UK engineering firms. The company specialises in tungsten carbide products and cutting tools, and Richard Lloyd is its main tooling business. Richard Lloyd has up-to-date machinery due to a fire, and an insurance payment pushed up profits in 1996. The company's profit is forecast at 1.4 million pounds sterling for 1998 by Teather and Greenwood.
