challenges it represents."

Said Mr. Shrimpton: "It's quite a diverse portfolio so
I'll be relying on the talents of the managers in each area
to help define and implement agreed upon goals and actions.
My role is one of encouraging and supporting our staff, and
removing the roadblocks to achieving the goals we agree upon."
