Good morning and welcome to our results presentation for the six months ended 30 June 2024. I am Ian Brown, Head of Corporate Strategy and Investor Relations for Tritax Big Box. I will shortly hand over to Colin Godfrey, but first a few reminders. This presentation is being recorded and a replay and transcript will be made available on our website shortly afterwards. Secondly, there will be a live Q&A after the presentation and as a reminder, there are two ways to ask questions. You can either use the chat tool on the webcasting portal to type your question, or, if you prefer, you can speak to us over the phone using the dial in details provided on this morning's announcement. We do find we receive many similar questions on the chat tool, so in the interest of time we will try to aggregate them if possible. As always, if you have further questions, please do get in touch with us, our contact details are available on our website. Thank you.
