Update re Anstey Wallpaper Company

Walker Greenbank PLC (AIM: WGB), the luxury interior furnishings group, announces that a minor fire at approximately 22.00hrs last night at the Company's Loughborough wallpaper factory, Anstey Wallpaper Company, has damaged one of the factory's printing machines.

Whilst the fire was minor, it is too early to know when the damaged printing machine will be back in production and if there is any potential impact on the Company's performance for the current financial year ending 31 January 2018.

Dependent on the timing of repair, some of the orders planned to be printed on the machine might be delayed into the new financial year. The maximum potential impact on profitability in the current financial year is expected to be less than £0.5m.

The repair to the printing machine, and damage to a small amount of stock, are covered by the Company's comprehensive insurance policy.

The Company will issue a further announcement as soon as possible.
