Blueheath eyes higher margins
Published:  10 May, 2006

Blueheath has announced that it expects to be able to make greater than expected cost savings resulting from the integration of AC Ward & Son into the business.

When Blueheath bought AC Ward in November last year it said it expected to be able to achieve greater margins through combining buying volumes, using Blueheath's IT to improve efficiency, and integrating central overheads.

However, in a Stock Exchange announcement preceding its results, which will be announced on May 30, it said it had identified further cost saving opportunities for a second phase of integration.

However, it said a review of the business was still going on and it would not be able to provide more information until the announcement of its results.
