Presentations will outline the strengths of our business model and will focus on the many structural growth opportunities we see in our markets. We will also set out a range of financial aspirations for the next stage of our growth over the next five years.

As separately announced today, Hays has also announced a £75m share buyback programme to complement its well-established policy of returning significant surplus cash to shareholders.
