Annual Report 2009

“In what was clearly a difficult environment for business with a great deal of uncertainty in 2009, these are creditable results.  We have managed to contain the costs within the business very well, maintain a strong balance sheet and create value for shareholders.

While the environment we work in is now more settled, market conditions remain difficult.  Despite this we start 2010 in a strong position, financially and strategically, with a strengthened team across our business and see some significant growth opportunities for the Group.”
