Group CEO Greg Kane opened by thanking them members for their support over the past two years before highlighting several key achievements that have took place during what has been a very testing period.

“All of our businesses, people and systems are finely tuned to succeed in these conditions, but then it changed… almost overnight, demand is everywhere but supply became very difficult to manage.
