Financial year 20/21 closed at the end of August and it was one of the most challenging in Falcon’s history. Considering the circumstances, overall the company performed well and I thank everyone for the part you have played in this.
Prior to the covid pandemic we shared our new strategy. This included 3 key elements:
These remain the key elements of our strategy today. For example:
By focussing on these 3 elements, we have been able to recover faster than the competition, although it will still take us time to fully recover from the impact of Covid, which had significant consequences for our sales:
The covid pandemic stretched our financial resources too, but we hope to recover this throughout the next 12 months.
Despite all the challenges, 2021 has seen a lot of positives for the business, including:
All of this will help our continued recovery throughout the next 12 months.
Financial year 2022 started in September and got off to a good start as we beat our target in the first month. Unfortunately we missed target in October and so need to recover that with a strong result in November.
As much as there is a lot to be positive about, we still have a number of challenges:
Regardless of all the challenges we are continuing our recovery faster than our competition and by all working together we will continue to recover faster.
I would ask each of you to focus on our 3 strategic elements and to focus on delivering high-quality products on time to our customers. By delivering great products on time regardless of the challenges we face we will build really solid foundations for us to be successful in the years to come.
One of the reasons we have performed better than most in the last 18 months is that you have all worked together and supported each other. Please continue to work together as one team and support your colleagues along the way. Thank you once again for all your support.
Thank you all
Peter
