Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us this morning. We're going to run through our presentation and obviously take questions towards the end.

Prior to there, I was the COO in the first non-family management team at Dunelm and prior to that, several years as the store operations supply chain director at Halfords.

My colleague, Steve Crow. Good morning. I'm Steve Crow. I'm the CFO. I've been with the business 16 months now. My background is primarily financial services and then more latterly, private equity in the fintech sector.
