THE CURRENT DECADE
68
THE FUTURE
Throughout its history the company has demonstrated a two-
pronged approach of being forward-thinking yet practical. Its
prudence in the past in taking tough decisions has always paid off.
In the aftermath of the global recession, the Group’s primary
objective now is to create growth by investing in existing
businesses whilst maintaining the long term focus of improving
the quality of profits measured by return on capital employed.
The company is enjoying a strong business momentum and is
confident about its ability to carry on progressing and delivering.
All six specialist divisions are recognised as market leaders in their
fields, are winning prestigious accolades and industry awards, and
have long term plans in place to ensure the Group continues to
flourish. The drive from 2015 onwards will be to continue to
develop its strong position in the UK, and to supplement this
strength by further expansion into Europe and in the wider
international arena.
