BRADFORD-based double glazing firm Safestyle UK has reported strong financial results for the first half of this year.

It showed a 6.9 per cent increase in revenue to £74 million, up from £69.2m from the same period last year.

The firm reported a 9.5 per cent in gross profit to £27.6m.

It also had a 9.5 per cent rise in its growth market share, up from 8.5 per cent at the end of 2014.

It showed a pre-tax operating cash flow of £8.7 million.

The figures, for the six months up to June 30 this year, were published this morning.

Steve Birmingham, Safestyle UK chief executive, said: "Safestyle UKI has delivered a successful first half of 2015 during which our turnover, market share and profit all increased, despite increased advertising investment and the expected uplift in other underlying operating costs."
