Significant events
- “2024 was negatively impacted by the follow through of high inflation that put pressure on company costs and customer budgets where the group operates. Despite these challenges the business was able to grow EBITDA. There were some exceptional costs relating to historic items that were reversed in 2024 which accounted for some of the improvement reported.”
