Norcros

Norcros plc floated on the London Stock Exchange on 16 July 2007. The Group had previously been listed on the LSE until 1999, when it was subject to a management buyout. Until that point the Group had a number of subsidiary undertakings in the home consumer products and speciality chemicals sectors. During its period as a private company (1999–2007), the Group focused on its home consumer products following a number of strategic disposals and investment in its remaining businesses. The result was to form the shape of the business as it is today. The Board decided to return to the stock market in 2007 to provide access to new capital to fund further growth in its now clearly defined markets.
