In the second half, we will further increase Energy Consultant numbers and focus on productivity initiatives to further support revenue growth.
"The rate of new customer acquisition has increased compared to extensions and renewals in line with management expectations. We also continue to make progress in aligning supplier commercial terms to improve cash conversion.
