Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the presentation of Serco's 2025 full-year results.
I'm Anthony Kirby. I'm the Group Chief Executive. And I'm extremely proud to lead what I believe is one of the best companies in the world. My more than 50,000 great colleagues deliver mission-critical services in some of the most demanding environments globally and their commitment, skill, and resilience continue to inspire us every day. Nigel Crossley, our Group CFO, and I are delighted to be able to present the strong set of results on their behalf.
Before we begin, it would be remiss of me not to recognize Nigel's outstanding contribution to Serco at this stage. More than 11 years of dedicated service, as well as five as the Group Chief Financial Officer. And on behalf of the Board, the Executive Committee, and all of his colleagues across Serco, I want to offer my sincere thanks and wish you, Nigel and Lorraine, a very happy, long and safe retirement.
