Charles Dunstone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said:
“We are clearly demonstrating our ability to continue to attract a high quality customer base. Our proven track record in providing value added customer service ideally positions us to take advantage of a market that is increasingly focusing on high spending subscription customers rather than purely acquisition and volume.
“Looking ahead we continue to believe we are in a strong position to succeed in a pan-European marketplace that is in the process of significant change.”
