I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. Scott McMillan, Managing Director. Please go ahead.
Thanks, Rocco. Good morning, everyone, from a cold and very dismal and wet Sydney, really turned on the weather for us. Sitting with me in the boardroom here in Sydney is our newly anointed Joint Managing Director, which I'll explain shortly, Stewart Tully; and our Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary, Andrew Evans. They'll be doing most of the talking. I'll talk to you a little bit about strategy, about our Aviation Services business and our fleet.
But first, I'd just like to congratulate Stewart on his elevation to the Board. It's been something we've been working on now for quite a few months. And the Board finalized the appointment yesterday. So we now have a good succession plan in place
