July and August are the quiet season at D&S with many staff on holiday and activity generally at a low level before the heightened activities of the 'new term' in September when we prepare for the forthcoming year. This lull has been compounded by reduced national economic activity that has resulted from recent fiscal changes but nevertheless several important initiatives have taken place throughout the D&S Group. A most important one, held a few months ago, was the Strategy Review attended by all senior management staff and our valued non-Executive Directors and advisors when future Group priorities are debated and agreed. It is always a stimulating forum and I appreciate the contributions that everyone makes.
