In a trading update today, September 29, care services provider Claimar Care Group plc said it sees normalised full-year pretax profit at the lower end of market expectations.

The company said it continues to meet all banking convenants and that it is confident on its longer-term prospects, notwithstanding the challenging conditions.

Non-Executive Chairman John Crabtree commented: “Although the Board is highly disappointed that we do not expect Claimar Care to meet market expectations for the full financial year, we continue to be optimistic concerning the long term outlook for the business.”

The group’s main activities are generic older persons services delivered by Claimar Care Limited, complex care delivered by the Complete Care Group, a franchise business, SureCare, and a training business, Primary Care Training.
