...Good morning, and thank you for joining us today. It's now 5 months since I joined the business, and I've been hugely impressed by the strength of the company. It's an incredibly valuable business. Persimmon buys land really well and also develops it really well, whilst balancing the needs of design and placemaking. It also builds very efficiently giving it a competitive advantage over its peers. But importantly, it is now building at a quality that is comparable to its peers as a recent survey show. And our market positioning is pitch perfect, thanks to a strong focus on first-time buyers and first-time movers. And of course, all of this is underpinned by a very strong balance sheet. As I'll come on to later, Persimmon can build on this to become an even better and bigger business. The key to this is to build consistently well at scale. As we build more, we will sell more and grow the business. The key to this is building right first time and putting customers at the heart of the business....
