Sir Martin, executive chairman of S4 Capital, said: “We are extremely optimistic about our prospects for this year and next, given the huge global fiscal and monetary stimulus introduced to counter the impact of the pandemic.”
Alongside the trading update S4 raised its self imposed like-for-like revenue and gross profit growth to 30 per cent up from 25 per cent.
