Advertising group Maiden buoyed by record September

UK outdoor advertising group Maiden painted a brighter picture for its industry today after basking in narrower half-year losses and a record September.

The London-based company, which sells space on billboards and posters at roadsides and railway stations, said its performance had been in line with expectations after pre-tax losses came in at £200,000 (€294,000) for the six months to June 30, against a deficit of £1.9m (€2.8m) last time.
