Shares closed 151.8p lower at 285p following the event where CEO and founder Matthew Moulding hosted a meeting with analysts and investors to explain the group's Ingenuity sales platform and address investor concerns about the business.

"The group also has a very strong liquidity position as it enters its peak trading season, with available cash as at 30 September 2021 of £700m across long dated 3-5 year facilities.
