First-pass take

Norcros is a traditional bathroom/kitchen products manufacturer with zero AI exposure. Organic growth of just 1.5% LFL constant currency masks modest underlying momentum. South Africa faces severe loadshedding headwinds; UK retail weakening. Recent Grant Westfield acquisition drove headline growth but operating leverage is moderate. Recent impairments (Johnson Tiles £5.0m, Norcros Adhesives closure) suggest asset stress.
