end use sectors under pressure from the deteriorating economic climate and
rises in raw material prices putting pressure on wholesaler margins. The

gone, having been replaced by an increasing feeling of pessimism during the
middle of 2008, particularly amongst those companies with significant exposure
to the residential sector. The report analyses the current situation and

current and expected volatile economic environment.
