Eric, if we turn to you first, it's certainly been a more difficult economic environment in 2023. So talk us through Grafton trading as you see it.

Eric Born - Grafton Group plc - CEO & Director

Overall, the group traded very well and be very in line with where we expected to be in the first half, really thanks to our colleagues, we see a fantastic job and all the different strong brands we have in our various markets. I think on the distribution side, we are a little bit more challenged, but this is nicely counterbalanced by having a very strong performance in our retail business, bodies as well as our manufacturing businesses. So overall, we are on track where we thought we will be in the first half.
