00:06 Thank you Nicky and thanks everybody. I mean this has been a lovely evening altogether.

00:12 I've been so so so impressed by everybody that we've seen and heard of.

00:18 25 years ago when I started off on Calvert Trust, this would have been a very very very small room

00:26 with very very very few women in leadership positions in your world.

00:31 It was very very hard to be heard in meetings because men's voices carry much further, much easier.

00:39 And now women chair meetings, my goodness Yvonne chairs Inverness Calais. Incredible.

00:47 And I think the Hounds and the whole of Scotland would be so much the better of it.

00:52 25 years ago, staff would have done as they're told.

00:57 They would not have introduced sneaky little actions by nominating their boss.

01:03 [Laughter]

01:06 These sort of things would not have happened.

01:08 But honestly guys, the world has come on so so so much in that time.

01:12 And I think hearing even tonight about how so many of the businesses you represent

01:17 are doing something to build your community and the community we share here, I think it's absolutely phenomenal.

01:24 I am retiring but I'm not giving up.

01:27 And I'll see what's happening going forward.

01:31 So thank you, all of you, very very much.

01:34 [Applause]
