"The business has responded to these challenges and has performed well through our dedicated staff who have risen to the challenges and supported our customers and the sector through the lock-down and the various alert levels we have seen over recent months." "We expect to release our audited financial results and any dividend announcement for the year on 18 August and will be in a position to comment in more detail about our trading performance at that time."
