BIRMINGHAM-based fasteners manufacturer, Trifast has said it expects full year results to be at the upper end of expectations following a strong final quarter.

The company said the result reflected improvements generated as a result of operational changes implemented during the past few years.

In a pre-close trading update, it said: “The board is very pleased to report that, following the trading update on February 11, 2015, the group has continued to perform well in the final quarter of the financial year ended March 31, 2015.
 
“Accordingly, the board expects the results for the year to be, as a minimum, at the upper end of current market expectations.
