Our Strategy

We're focused on delivering accelerated growth by building scale in the specialist markets we've chosen to operate in, and increasing the pace of digitisation throughout the business.

The Growth Acceleration Plan 2 - GAP 2 - is the plan we've followed between 2021 and 2024 to grow further, faster and sustainably.
