Paul Moody, Chairman said:
“The Group delivered a strong financial performance in 2024, continuing to outperform the promotional products market as a whole and thereby taking further market share.
In the first two months of 2025 revenue at the order intake level was slightly down compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting continued uncertainty in the market. It is possible that market conditions, including potential tariff impacts, may continue to influence demand in 2025. From our experience, however, as business sentiment improves, demand for promotional products increases as does our ability to gain market share.
Despite a challenging near-term environment, our view of the prospects of the business remains unchanged. The Board is confident in the Group’s strategy, competitive position and growth opportunity.”
