Significant events
- “the Governments' inability to control inflation and the massive attack on employment taxes announced in the late October budget which had a negative impact on confidence and demand in the second half.”
- “Inflammatory pressures on fleet operations continued throughout the year with no sign of improvement and driver shortages returned with a vengeance in quarter 4 which added to pressures on operating costs although the driver shortages have been largely overcome with post year end recruitment.”
