"Whilst macro uncertainties remain and unseasonal weather has impacted our most recent trading, we are confident in our outlook. Our new sites continue to generate industry-leading returns on capital and we are excited about the growth runway ahead of us as we progress in our strategy to double EBITDA to £13.0m by FY28."
