These results represent another very positive year of progress and build on our consistent improvement over recent years. All five of the business areas through which we manage the Group saw an increase in revenues and our Outsourcing operations enjoyed a significant improvement in operating profits. The performance of the Group continues to benefit from its diversified business mix. We are again pleased to be able to declare an increased dividend payment for the year-end, which our strong financial performance enables us to do. Our performance over the last year means we continue to face the future with confidence.
