AGM Trading Statement
Continued strong sales momentum in the first quarter
Wincanton plc, a leading supply chain partner for UK business,
will today hold its Annual General Meeting via webcast at 11.30am.
At the meeting, Dr Martin Read CBE, Chairman, will make the
following statement:
The Board confirms that the strong revenue performance recorded
in the second half of the prior year has continued into the first
quarter of this financial year, with sustained growth and an
attractive pipeline of opportunities in each of the Group's four
sectors. Wincanton continues to make operational and strategic
progress and it is trading in line with expectations. Profits are
up significantly on the same period last year.
The award of two contract extensions by Ikea to operate its
customer distribution centres in Kent and Essex underlines the
sustained progress in the development of Wincanton's Digital and
eFulfilment offer. While the Group has maintained its positive
momentum in the early part of the financial year, it is mindful of
the sector-wide pressures related to the availability of drivers.
Wincanton is taking steps to address this, including increased
recruitment of permanent colleagues and the acceleration of
training programmes.
As set out in the Full Year results, a final dividend of 7.50p
per share in respect of the year ended 31 March 2021 will be
payable, subject to approval at today's AGM, on 6 August 2021 to
those shareholders on the register on 9 July 2021.
