“I am very pleased to report that we finished FY19 in a much stronger position, following the conclusion of a transformational restructuring, and that the new financial year has started well. The Group is now enjoying the full benefits of the structural cost savings achieved in FY19, achieving an acceptable level of margin for a business of its type. Our management team is confident of delivering further profitable revenue growth and creating new exciting opportunities for the Group. I look forward to reporting further details of our progress when we announce the Final Results in September.”
