CEO Ian Strafford-Taylor said: “We ended 2021 in a very strong position, both financially and operationally. The surge in our reported revenue and EBITDA speaks to a successful repositioning of our model to focus on B2B and away from legacy travel operations. This process began in 2020, put us on the front-foot for 2021, and we are now progressing into 2022 with sustained confidence.
"Our product set is being adopted by existing and new customers at a faster rate than we anticipated and that has allowed us to more quickly develop and roll out new functionality to a broader range of customers. We are making excellent progress in the early stages of 2022 with rapid growth continuing while we navigate the geo-political backdrop. We remain highly confident for our prospects both in 2022 and beyond".
