Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Vianet Group PLC for your results investor presentation. (Operator Instructions) Before we begin, we would just like to submit the following poll. And if you could give that your kind attention, I'm sure the company would be most grateful.
And I would now like to hand you over to the executive management team from Vianet Group PLC. James, good morning, sir.
Yeah, good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us.
We'll kick straight into the results.
Strong progress in the year despite the UK and global macroeconomic backdrop, our continued growth in our pipeline and the device footprint out in the marketplace. I think our unattended retail division, we successfully managed to exit the ERP vendor management software platform provision to focus on device footprint expansion and the 3G/2G switch off, that's proven successful for us through our retain and gain strategy and that's paid dividends.
Really pleased that
