Johnny Thomson

Group CEO

We drive organic growth in three ways: expanding into structurally growing end markets; penetrating further into core developed geographies; and extending our product range to expand addressable markets. This strategy drives both sustainable organic growth and increased resilience.

To deliver sustainable quality compounding, we must develop our businesses to deliver great customer propositions at scale. This can be through investment in talent, technology, and facilities – building capability and capacity to sustain growth in our businesses. It also means developing our Group to sustain execution as we grow.
