“We are pleased with what our team has been able to achieve through the disruptions to our business over the past six months, and whilst it has had a temporary impact to sales and profitability, we remain confident in our growth objectives and have been able to maintain the balance sheet strength required to deliver on them. This leaves us very well placed for the future.” said Shane Fallscheer, Lovsia Managing Director.
