As highlighted in the Company's interim results for the six months to 30 June 2022, announced on 27 September 2022, the Group had a strong order book at improving margin levels, and a significant pipeline of opportunities, providing an improved outlook for the second half of 2022 and into 2023.

The Company expects to announce the results for the year ended 31 December 2022 in April 2023.

"The recovery in activity we experienced in the first half of 2022 has continued into the second half. We have been focused on implementing efficiency improvements throughout the Group that are now being realised. I am therefore pleased to report that whilst revenue will be in line, I expect the Group to achieve profits for the current year and for 2023 significantly ahead of the Board's previous expectations."
