‘TNT Express showed a mixed performance this quarter, with lower results in Europe but improvements in Asia Pacific. In a challenging economic environment, we benefited from our diversified product portfolio and superior customer service. The quarter saw the highest customer satisfaction score ever realised. Customer growth was also good, with notable additional business won in the Automotive, Industrial and High-Tech sectors. Finally, we continue to contain costs and shed loss-making activities to support our operating results. Our cash performance was also strong.’
