Trading update
Wey Education plc (AIM: WEY), the online educational services
group is pleased to update the market on current trading.
Both InterHigh and Academy 21 have started the financial year
with strong performance in advance of the Group's expectations. In
addition, our InterHigh business to business sales have been higher
than anticipated.
Group turnover for the year to 31 August 2020 is expected to be
significantly ahead of market forecasts and to be in excess of
GBP7.5m, which would represent an increase of over 25% on the year
ended 31 August 2019.
The Directors continue to invest in marketing to enhance future
growth and are also investing in senior operational executives in
marketing, education and Information Systems. The board is taking
advantage of the increased turnover to invest in these areas at a
greater rate than initially planned to accelerate its growth plans.
Notwithstanding the additional cost of these investments the
Company still expects to meet market forecasts for profit for the
current year ending 31 August 2020.
Barrie Whipp, Chairman, commented "The strategy established in
2019 to deliver excellent online education to an increasing number
of students is clearly working. Our brands, InterHigh and Academy
21 are both growing at similar rates. It is entirely logical that,
with our substantial cash reserves, we continue to seek further
growth through investment in quality and marketing. The appointment
of new senior executives is being covered by our enhanced revenues,
as is the increase in marketing expenditure. This allows the Board
to project further growth with optimism.
