Good morning, everyone. Welcome to those of you that have joined us here in the room at Deutsche Numis, and hello to everyone online. My name is Philip Hoare, Group Chief Executive of Balfour Beatty, and over the course of the next hour or so, Phil Harrison and I will talk you through our great 2025 performance.
But first, what a way to start. That video, for me, that film epitomizes everything that is great about Balfour Beatty. The complex projects that we work on around the world, the depth of our end-to-end capability, the great customer relationships that we enjoy.
And when you hear the stories from Richard, Amber, and Wayne. What a fantastic legacy that they are working on, you can see, can't you, the pride that comes from them. And so this is a great organization poised for the future, I look forward to telling you more about that.
But before I do, I just want to say a huge thank you to all the staff and employees of Balfour Beatty. It's you that makes this happen.
