I sure as heck hope you are right. UK Legal does not surprise me. It is a competitive game oop North in UK and getting that right was always going to take time and nurturing. SGS figs however are really hopeless V's the cost of QPP PSD. I had expected SGS to show good profits in H2.

Working hard is good and a drive for cash is an obvious immediate tactic, but all stakeholders need the strategic vision and picture. I need time with AR (and am busy then on long hols in Sept) but reading HC recently - the picture isnt obvious. ......especially the debt reduction plan.

That said June 16 was always expected to be near the bottom of a U curve .....but troops need a sniff of the plan . 10 months to June 17 ....and much better ROCE/Lower debt/NIHL? I had hoped for something in AR to inject optimism into the picture.
