|  I am very pleased to report that our Group has again performed well in 2008. We delivered a strong underlying profit performance exceeding the record results achieved in 2007, and we continued to generate significant cash from our operations allowing us to retire a portion of our external debt and acquire one of our competitors Sissons. Our turnover increased by 7% over 2007 and for the first time in our history exceeded $5 billion dollars. | | | | |
