Good morning, and welcome to our 2024 half year results. We have a packed agenda this morning with a lot of ground to cover in explaining how we're performing well and our positioning for further success in the years ahead.
In a moment, I'll set out a high-level summary of the first half. I'll then hand over to Craig to take you through the operating and financial results for the period.
