Martin Storm, Group CEO, commented, “I am grateful for the hard work of our wonderful staff all around the world who grew all our businesses to record results.

Our digital business has flourished in Europe, Africa, and the U.S. over the last three years and our land-based business continues to grow with very large customers extending our share in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
