Stirling Insulation manufacturer Superglass's first-half profits show a share increase of 27% to £3.3m.

The business saw shares increase by 9% in one week alone.

The company is set to benefit further with the implementation of the government’s carbon emission reduction target (Cert) programme, which requires energy firms to improve efficiency in customers' properties using insulation.

Chief Executive John Smellie said the initial take-up of Cert had been slower than expected but the group now expected volumes to increase.
