ABOUT ME – STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL
We develop new and complementary products to drive future growth
The Group’s business strategy is focused on diversifying its product portfolio, expanding the number of units in operation, and increasing the yield per unit, while minimising production and operational costs.
We enhance shareholder value by investing in new technologies that develop new and complementary products and services so they can be rapidly deployed across existing and new geographies and provide a rapid and sustainable return on investment.
We use cash flow generated by our long-established operations, such as photobooths and kiosks, to invest in future growth.
Our key investment priorities
1
Diversification and commercialisation of next generation photobooths,
a key margin
contributor
2
Continued expansion of our laundry operations, a key growth driver for the Group
3
Growth of Feed.ME, our food vending equipment business to become the European market leader
The Group plans to grow these business areas through organic growth, new product development, and selected bolt-on acquisitions which meet the Group’s return-on-investment criteria. Laundry and food are expected to contribute an increasing proportion of total Group revenue and profit alongside the photobooth contribution.
