Tattered garments

Article Abstract:

Claremont Garments has closed capacity and shifted production abroad, but has still been affected by a downturn. The company shed some 720 jobs and cut 7.1 million pounds sterling worth of costs, but losses increased to 12 million pounds sterling in 1997 compared with 3 million pounds for the previous year. Potential orders were lost due to job losses. The company's profit is forecast at some 4 million pounds sterling for 1998, but disposals could mean a drop in profit. The company's stock price has risen, but from a low level.
