John Doyle Group has posted a 6% drop in comparable turnover for the year ended 31 December 2007.

The figure of 拢168m was down on 拢178.1m for the previous year, which saw a management buyout in May.

Comparable pre-tax profit was down by a third from 拢2.4m to 拢1.6m after what Richard Clancy, its finance director, said had been 鈥渁n exceptionally good 2006鈥�.

He said: 鈥淲e are not yet seeing the credit crunch have any major impact on schemes.鈥�

Although Clancy said the company, which has been renamed Doyle Group, was aiming to exceed 拢200m turnover in 2008, he conceded there was more uncertainty beyond then.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a nervousness but it鈥檚 the same for everyone. The worry is that the larger schemes will be postponed.鈥�
