Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation rose to £11.5 million, compared to £9.9 million in the first half of the company's 2019-20 financial year.

Our business model has demonstrated its defensive qualities and we made strong operational progress in the period, with significant margin expansion, the successful execution of integration programmes and enhanced cash generation.'
