GOOCH AND HOUSEGO PLC
29 September 1999
The board of Gooch and Housego plc has noted the recent
decline in the share price of the company and is not aware of
any information relating to the Groups trading or financial
position which would account for this.
Since the interim statement issued on 14 June 1999 trading has
been satisfactory. The board anticipates that the financial
results for the year ending 30 September 1999 will be in line
with market expectations.
Steps are being taken to identify a suitable candidate for the
role of group chief executive. In the meantime the managing
director, Gareth Jones remains with the company.
