Grafton Group plc (LSE:GFTU) is looking for acquisitions. During the company?s full year results presentation, Eric Born, Chief Executive Officer said that ?There continues to be a tight management of the cost base in order to mitigate the inflationary pressures. And of course, we continue to allocate capital through the cycle to further strengthen our existing brands and build on our historical track record of delivering organic and acquisitive growth.

We will further focus on strengthening the position in existing markets, but of course, also focus on the development of new growth platform in new markets. And last but not least, we have had good progress in building our M&A pipeline, and we keep on working on those platform opportunities throughout the year. Thank you very much, and we are ready for your questions?.

?Furthermore, we executed 5 bolt-on acquisitions, 3 of them in the U.K., 2 in Northern Ireland, 1 in Great Britain, 1 in Ireland and 1 in Finland. We have an enhanced pipeline of acquisition opportunities for further bolt-ons but also for platform acquisitions in new European markets?.
