- Falling capex requirements
Travel caterer SSP Group (SSP) is focusing its energies on what it deems “higher growth” markets – ie, those beyond the UK and Continental Europe. In the six months to the end of March, profitability in these regions was constrained by high levels of renewals (meaning store refurbishments) in the Nordic countries. Meanwhile, industrial action in France and Germany also impacted the group’s sales at railway stations.
