Looking ahead, Norman Broadbent said it is well positioned in stable and growing markets. Davidson added: "Despite the challenging economic back-drop, I remain confident in the shape and position the business is now in to deliver sustainable and accelerated growth in both NFI and Ebitda in H2 2022 and beyond."
