1   We are completing the second phase by the end of April next year.


2   We have originally hoped to commission Meyer for the redesign, but their books are full until 2022.


3   As the project nears completion, I’d like to thank all those who had been working on it and are here today.


4   I take questions at the end of this presentation, if you don’t mind waiting till then.


5   I wanted to show a short video now, but there’s seeming to be some kind of technical fault, so bear with me.


6   We will have sent these figures to you by email after the presentation, so don’t worry about them now.


7   I’ll now be handing over to Carla. She worked on this area of the project for the last six months.


8   Our sales have levelled off for some years, but now they’re growing rapidly again.
