We have listened carefully to the views expressed, including those of shareholders who supported the resolutions, and will continue to welcome challenge and engage constructively with all shareholders.

We are building encouraging momentum across our key growth areas of North America, licensing and direct-to-consumer, as demonstrated by our half-year results, and the significant opportunity presented by the recent Designers Guild licence agreement. We have a clear strategy, a strong platform, a great management team, and remain confident in the opportunities ahead."
