The group said a strong uptick in the number of new distributors joining the business during the quarter provides a useful indicator of the levels of customer and service growth it expects to achieve over the coming months.

Chief Executive Officer Andrew Lindsay said: "The sustained increase in the number of new distributors joining the business over the last three months is particularly encouraging, and we anticipate that this will feed through to additional customer and service growth over the coming months."

"We continue to focus on delivering consistent good value, convenience and exceptional levels of service to our members, and are confident that this is the right strategy to maximise shareholder value over the long term."
