Within these results, the Products Division, ‘delivered a LfL revenue growth at constant currency of 4.5% and of 7.0% outside of China’ of 602.9m GBP’.

In the Products Division, ‘Business Assurance delivered double digit LfL revenue growth globally and outside of China as the business benefited from the increased investments by our clients to improve the resilience of their supply chains, the continuous focus on ethical supply, the increased need for sustainability assurance and the strong growth in our People Assurance segment.’

Regarding the outlook, they comment that, ‘The Group remains well-positioned to deliver on our guidance for 2022 with robust LfL constant currency revenue growth for both the Group as a whole and for each of our divisions’
