“We are very pleased to see that improved sentiment in the oil and gas markets has begun to translate into increased activity in our oil tool rental division, Tasman, providing sufficient confidence to invest selectively in our hire fleet for the first time in four years in order to supply contracts won in Malaysia and Australia. Crestchic, our power reliability side of the business, continued to show a resilient performance, with growth being achieved in particular within the rental division. 

“Having raised further capital and refinanced our debt during the first six months, we have a strong balance sheet which leaves Northbridge securely positioned. We look forward to a successful second half of the year and remain confident for the long-term prospects for the business.”
