Strategy: 'Consolidate - Leverage - Grow'
The Group's strategy is summarised in the phrase 'Consolidate – Leverage – Grow'. After the initial phase, during which we consolidated multiple locations, smaller businesses and distribution channels into a more streamlined structure in order to extract scale economies, the focus has shifted to leveraging our skills in product development and to expanding and exploiting our routes to market in pursuit of growth. While continuous improvement activities are ongoing, the emphasis is on generating growth. We continue to look for value-adding acquisitions.
