"I am delighted to welcome Neil and Fraser to the Board. Both bring additional strategic, commercial, transaction and leadership experience which will be invaluable as we pursue our growth strategy and continue to transform the Company.

In 2017, we moved swiftly to improve the business at every level, reinvigorating not only its products and services, but critically our governance and leadership too. The foundations are in place for growth and improved financial performance. We enter 2018 fit to compete and excited by the opportunities ahead.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank both Dave and Keith for their contribution and many years of loyal service."
