412009 outlook
The overall trading environment in the second
half is expected to remain difficult. In these
circumstances we will retain our focus on cash
flow generation through operational efficiencies
and expense reduction, working capital
improvement,streamlining capital expenditure and
optimisation of rental and leasing fleets. These
initiatives will result in strong cash flow for
the full year which will reduce debt and
strengthen the group balance sheet. Furthermore,
we expect to entrench our positions of market
leadership through product and service
excellence. This will ensure that we are well
placed to weather the economic downturn and
position ourselves for long-term success as the
external environment improves. CEO, 11 May 2009
