David Arnold
Group CFO & Director

Good afternoon, everybody, and a warm welcome to Grafton's Capital Market event. Just before I hand over to Eric, just a few formalities for the start of the day.

The first thing is that there are no fire alarms tests planned for this afternoon. So if we do hear the fire alarm, if we can make sure we exit through the exits with the green signs, make your way out with the building, and then we'll be directed to the assembly point. That's the first thing.

The second thing is, if I could just respectfully remind everybody, if you could make sure that your phones are turned to silent and the klaxons are turned off and the big vibrating things are all turned off, that would be marvelous. Excellent. Thank you very much.

And at this point, I will hand over to Eric Born to start the day.

Eric Born
CEO & Director
