gratitude to Rob for his long and valued contribution to the
Company's progress and stewardship over the past eight years,
during which he has provided wise counsel as Senior Independent
Director to myself as Chairman, careful oversight of the Audit
Committee and an invaluable contribution to the Board. We wish him
all the very best for the future.
I am very pleased to welcome Gywn to the Board. Gwyn has
excellent experience gained from both her previous executive
positions and also from her non executive roles, all of which will
help to further strengthen the Board's expertise, including our
ongoing focus on customer service. Gwyn will be a valuable adviser
and contributor to the business and I and the Board, very much look
forward to working with her."
