About this update from React Group Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n 13 December 2022\n \n \n \n \n REACT Group plc\n \n \n \n \n (\"REACT\", the \"Group\" or the \"Company\")\n \n \n \n \n Company Update\n \n \n \n REACT Group plc (AIM:REAT.L), the leading specialist cleaning, hygiene and decontamination company is pleased to announce a further update since our Trading Update of 26 October 2022 in which we reported very positive performance for the year ended 30 September 2022 (\"FY22\") and a strong start to the current financial year (\"FY23\").\n \n \n LaddersFree has continued to perform strongly.

This positive start underpins the Board's optimistic outlook for the current financial year.\n \n \n \n Commenting on the trading update Shaun Doak, Chief Executive Officer of REACT, said:\n \n \n \n \n \"Our teams in all divisions continue to work hard to secure new profitable contracts and build sustainable growth and longer-term predictable income across the Group.
