Is it possible to sail around a crisis? Early 2009 trends

It is not wise to loudly celebrate growth during bad times, especially not too early. Nevertheless, we have good news: pinta's overall performance in the first quarter of 2009 saw slight growth compared to the previous year. The individual divisions fell into one of two categories: down turns losses in all industry-dependant fields or slight growth in the building and service sectors. That result is more than acceptable compared to the waves around us.

Our personal conclusions? We see this first quarter as an affirmation that we should maintain our heading, make adjustments where necessary, and continue to pursue our ambition to accept the challenge of this crisis.
