We have a clear and focused strategy, an internationally diversified business model and we are the market leader in an industry with significant growth potential. The development of our support services capability is adding a new dimension to growth.
Our drive to increase operating efficiency, whilst investing in the future development of the business, is delivering significant results.
The strength of our cash flow and balance sheet is enabling us both to accelerate growth through value creating infill acquisitions and to reward shareholders. With this in mind, we are increasing the interim dividend by 10% to 4.4 pence. Whilst these are undoubtedly challenging times, we look forward to the future with confidence.
