Peter Rigby, Chief Executive said: “It has been a solid quarter for the Group with good performances in each division ensuring positive organic growth across the first nine months of the year, despite the absence of our Brazilian biennial exhibition in 2013. Overall, we remain confident of meeting expectations for the full year.
We completed the sale of our five Corporate Training businesses at the end of September, leaving the Group more focused and less volatile. The sale further strengthens our balance sheet and we continue to look for attractive opportunities to deploy our capital efficiently, in line with our strategy.”
