So could you start by telling us a little bit about your career history and the lessons learned from some of your roles prior to today?
2:59
Okay, where do I start on this one? I mean, I've had a kind of, I suppose, a 30-year career.
3:03
I graduated from university back in 1996.
3:07
And kind of during that time, I've moved across different sectors.

I would say more by accident than kind of design, if I'm honest.
3:14
I've kind of worked in, I suppose, hospitality for the last 20, 20 years in various guises.
3:20
I began my career as a chartered accountant.
