“Today marks an important milestone for CVS as we join the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. The move reflects our confidence in the Group’s future and our commitment to delivering long-term value for all stakeholders. It will provide access to deeper pools of capital across a broader range of investors, offer the potential for index inclusion and improvement in trading liquidity, and enhance our corporate profile, positioning CVS for the next phase of growth.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their continued support, particularly through the challenges faced by the wider sector in recent years. We are confident in the opportunities ahead and remain committed to building on this strong foundation and delivering sustainable growth.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank CVS colleagues for their continued dedication and support in providing care to our clients and their animals”.
