Chairman's statement

I am pleased to report that this is our fourth successive year of improvements in revenues and earnings with signifi cant progress in performance reported across all businesses. The early efforts we made to restructure our business in the wake of the IT downturn between 2001 and 2003, have allowed the Group to continue to deliver consistent improvements in results.



Chief Executive Officer's report

2007 was another year of strong performance in which we have benefited from the effects of our increased scale and improved organisational efficiencies against a backdrop of an improving global ICT market.
