Ladbrokes owner Entain, insurance giant Aviva and Domino’s Pizza UK are among a large number of companies reporting today.
Aviva boss Amanda Blanc hailed the insurer’s “excellent progress” and continued trading momentum as it overcame significant market volatility to lift 2022 operating profits by 35% to £2.2 billion. The total dividend rose 40% to 31p a share.
Blanc said: “We have radically simplified Aviva, we are financially strong and we are utterly focused on transforming and growing the business.”
