Thanks. Your comments are appreciated and we are indeed investing more in career development. Last year's deployment of our Development Hub was a significant milestone in communicating opportunities for career progression and talent management: It's an ongoing process with both HR teams and Senior Leadership actively monitoring and engaged in ways to reward and retain people across the business so do expect more to come.
