Black Sun is pleased to announce that Halma’s 2008 Annual Report has been awarded for Best Strategy & Objectives by a FTSE250 Company.

In the opinion of the judges Halma set a particularly high standard to edge ahead of the other two short-listed companies. The quality and depth of the strategy discussion in the 2008 Halma Annual Report conveyed both the clarity of its strategic thinking and the apparent effectiveness of its strategic management. Halma presents a strong strategic case at Group and segment level with a resource-based strategy, where the centre is quite clearly adding enough value to make the Group worth considerably more than the simple sum of its parts.
