financial year has been in line with the Board's expectations.

 

"Our objectives of delivering margin improvement year on year, together with
enhanced cash generation through working capital improvements are also on
track. Whilst economic and geopolitical challenges remain, we are committed to
the execution of our four key strategic initiatives of margin management,
focused growth, organisational effectiveness, and operational efficiency that
will enable us to maintain positive momentum as we look to make progress on
our Recover, Rebuild, Resilience journey.

 

"As a Board, we are driven by the need to deliver against mid-term strategic
growth drivers and the significant opportunity that exists to return
performance to historic levels whilst rebuilding our employee value
proposition. Trifast has a proud heritage and is fortunate to be able to call
on a number of talented teams as it looks to the next chapter of its growth
and success story.
