• TIP Europe made a 25.42 million pre-tax profit in the year to July 31, 1986, on a turnover of £23.64 million.
Chief executive Jim Cleary says the figures cover 10 months of the year when TIP Europe was owned by Gelco of the US, and the two months following the £60 million management buyout.
Cleary is confident that this year's figures will show further gains over last year. "One thing we must not do is predict our performance," he says, "but our business levels are high and I see no reason why we should not meet our forecast this year."
'HP plans to invest 227 million in new equipment in the first three years after the management buyout. Cleary says the company has already spent £10 million of this figure.
Plans to offer shares in TIP to employees are still under consideration says Cleary, but no such scheme will be introduced during the current year.
