Mr. Samuel-Camps continued: “The last quarter of the previous financial year coincided with the first lockdown and that knocked us back a bit, as it did everybody, but we have rebounded.
“We had a very clear plan, we’ve executed that plan and that is why we are in this great position now. We are looking to continue that trajectory. All our forecasts indicate that we will do even better, which is important.”
