Warning but Snoozebox remains upbeat
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Snoozebox is hoping the Silverstone Grand Prix and Glastonbury Festival will stop investors losing sleep over its profits, after the portable hotels company warned it would miss analysts' expectations for 2012.
The group, which makes prefab hotel rooms that can be transported to festivals and events, said it expects revenues for the year ending 31 December to be £3.78m, below analysts' expectations of about £5m. Shares in Snoozebox fell 11 per cent to 57p.
Snoozebox blamed the fall in revenues on an accounting technicality affecting the recording of income.
But it was upbeat about prospects for 2013, saying it had "a strong pipeline" of jobs. It said last week that it had secured a £3.8m contract to supply 170 cabins for the G8 Summit in Northern Ireland in June.
Snoozebox will also supply accommodation for this year's Silverstone Grand Prix, the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Glastonbury Festival. It said it will report full annual results by the end of the week.
