Steve Johnston, Group CEO
While business success should be measured in terms of profits, dividends and valuations, equally important for a business like ours are the lives we restore, the futures we assure and the communities we rebuild.
Christine McLoughlin AM, Group Chairman
Good progress has been made to reshape our business, drive premium and margin growth and deliver against our strategic priorities. This, combined with our prudent capital management approach, underpins our ongoing commitment to continue to unlock value for our company and our shareholders.
