The proceeds will enable us to accelerate marketing investment in our UK B2C business, and build upon the momentum which we have achieved to date. We will continue to maintain our disciplined approach to marketing investment, with a focus on payback period and return on investment. Our B2B business is also entering an exciting stage in the UK and Italy, and the proceeds will also provide additional resources to pursue opportunities in this area.”
