Nick Buckles, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“We are extremely pleased with the performance of the business in 2007 and feel confident about the further development of the group this year.

In developed markets we have achieved a solid result with organic growth of around 7% and margins in line with the previous year.  The increased organic growth of 17% and improved margins in developing markets has driven an overall margin improvement of 0.2% across the group.

We’ve introduced the investment community to the next phase of our strategy which we believe will drive accelerated growth and development for the group and we have already announced a number of acquisitions which help us drive the strategy forward.

Overall, the outlook for the business is good and we are not expecting the recent economic uncertainties to impact our ability to continue to deliver strong results in the future.”
