Re: Banging numbers this morning... Yea, we've been putting out decent results for a few years now. Fallen out of fashion over the last six month or so, but it looks like we might be a bit more in vogue now, or as much as such a well run company doing pleasantly dull things can be in vogue !

Dividend DividendThe Board considers the dividend to be an important component of shareholder returns. In considering dividends the Board will be mindful of the Group's leverage, earnings growth potential and future expansion plans. As first set out in December 2010, our policy is that dividends will be progressive and, in the medium term, dividend cover should be on average 2.0x to 2.5x through the cycle.The Board recommends an interim dividend for this half year of 3.7 pence per share (H1 2013/14: 3.2 pence per share). This represents an increase of 16% demonstrating our commitment to a progressive dividend and the confidence of the Board in the outlook for the Group. The dividend will be paid on 1 May 2015 to ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of business on 7 April 2015.
