“The group has delivered a strong trading period, with growth at the top end of expectations and profitability ahead of expectations,” said Milan Patel, CEO.
“The market opportunity remains buoyant, underpinned by the structural move to digital marketing.
“We remain cognisant of broader macroeconomic uncertainty but enter the new financial year in a position of strength across our markets.
“Supported by high levels of recurring revenue and strong profitability, we remain focused on executing against each pillar of our growth strategy: product innovation, geographic expansion and strategic partnerships.”
John Conoley, who has a wealth of experience in growing international companies, has joined as non-executive chair. Previous chair Mike O’Leary stepped down in March for health reasons.
In February the company’s chief financial officer Paraag Amin left to pursue “new opportunities”. The company is continuing its search for a replacement.
