rollout of a new “Managed” offer alongside its traditional “Space only” product.

While we can see the logic, and note there is clearly a pricing gap to target versus Chris Millington

higher-end operators, the ‘best value’ segment remains highly competitive and Research Analyst

time for the strategy to translate into better pricing and occupancy.

While management has set out a medium-term ambition to deliver c.£125m of

trading profit before interest, this feels highly execution dependent at this stage.

transformation. We now forecast earnings to trough in FY28, c.35% below the 370.00
