Relations with shareholders

Engaging with our shareholders is of primary importance in creating a productive and regular dialogue on our strategy and business activities. We aim to ensure regular engagement that is not solely limited to financial calendar events.

The Company has a comprehensive investor relations programme, including regular meetings and calls with investors, comprising major institutions, retail investors private client fund managers.

Throughout the year, meetings are arranged, both proactively and on request, for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Head of Corporate Communications with institutional shareholders and sell-side analysts to discuss the Company’s business model, strategy and marketplace, as well as to update on performance. This engagement often includes site visits which provide shareholders with valuable insight into the business and its customer base. The Chairman, the Chairs of each of the Board Committees are also available to meet with major shareholders, independently of the Executive Directors, as required.

The Group’s investor website, www.workspace.co.uk/investors, holds all presentations made to analysts and investors for interim and full year results, as well as webcast replays, and is also used as a means of providing additional sources of information for shareholders. The website is kept up to date with RNS announcements, share price performance and other news, as well as details of the Group’s sustainability strategy and achievements in this area.
