Shorts reveal rise in profits
The Belfast aerospace company, Shorts, have announced a rise in profits of six per cent over the past year.
The firm also made a total of £57 million while sales rose by around 25 per cent to £500 million due to the buoyant markets for regional and business aircraft.
However, the firm said industrial action last year had an impact on both sales and profits.
Investment for the year up until January 31 2001 reached £80 million. This now means that the investment in Bombardier Northern Ireland since it was purchased in 1989 has reached £1.1 billion. (MB)
