This progress has been made possible by a rejuvenated management team with a clear strategy focused on driving shareholder returns. As part of our future plans we intend to further enhance our senior management team through selective recruitment whilst further developing our factory teams with training and development programmes aligned to our growth objectives. Through careful planning, we believe we will return value to our shareholders“.
