"The start to this year hasn't been without its challenges, with some major contracts having a delayed start but that aside we have delivered a strong first half with real momentum being felt in sales activity and conversion into new customers. We will now see the benefit of the delayed contracts in H2 which fills us with confidence for the full year outturn to deliver against market expectations. Furthermore, the board notes the continued decline in share price and is considering whether or not to use its authorities to buy back shares on the market if it deems it to be the best use of capital and accretive to shareholders."
