"In 2021, we introduced our Margin Acceleration Plan, MAP23, to drive profitable revenue growth for the business. I am pleased with the progress our brands have made with this strategy over the past twelve months and both our Flagship 4 and Core Brands have seen strong trading performances. We remain on track to hit our MAP23 targets."
