“I am pleased with the positive progress that G&H has made in the first half of the financial year. The record order book growth in the period demonstrates the increased confidence our customers have in G&H to provide them with their most complex photonics and optical systems requirements. This enlarged order book gives us stronger forward visibility than we have had historically and reflects the benefits of our strengthened positions in structurally attractive end-markets.

We remain focused on converting this demand through disciplined capacity expansion, improved operational execution and continued supply-chain resilience. The strategic actions taken over the last few years, including important speed-to-value acquisitions, have started to translate into improved financial and operational performance, and the Group is well-positioned to meet this increased demand.

While we continue to navigate the significant macroeconomic uncertainties, the recovery in our Industrial and Semiconductor markets, coupled with record demand from US and European Aerospace and Defence sectors, firmly supports our path to achieving mid-teens returns over the medium term.”

Charlie Peppiatt, Chief Executive Officer of Gooch & Housego
