Bristol-based Alexandra, whose customers include fast food giant McDonald’s, Wembley Stadium and the NHS, said revenues had fallen 13% in the three months to April 30.

The bleak economic climate has seen lower order levels from small businesses, while major clients had been drawing down stock levels more slowly, Alexandra said.

But the firm added that pre-tax profits were broadly in line with last year.
