"I am delighted to be able to report a strong operational and financial performance in the year ended 31 March 2013, reflecting another year of good progress across our three business divisions.

Our primary strategy continues to be the expansion of our market share within the UK I&C sector and retention of our position as the leading independent MAM, by volume of meters owned and managed. This position remains secure and has been further cemented through our performance in this financial year with the outlook for 2013/14 remaining positive."
