“we are putting in place a number of cost-saving initiatives. Your leadership team will share more details with you in the coming days, but in summary:

- We have identified savings from planned expenditure on property and IT.
- We are stopping discretionary costs including travel, hotels and spending on awards shows.
- We are reviewing our spending on freelancers.
- We are freezing all recruitment until we have more visibility on the economic outlook.
- We are postponing salary increases on the same basis.”
