"However, across the group we continue to see healthy levels of client engagement and activity. Our scalable and flexible business model and diversified portfolio of clients, sectors and operating regions mean that we are well positioned to weather these uncertainties in 2023 and to continue to deliver long-term growth for our stakeholders."
