Hi everyone, my name is Glenn Dyson and I'm joined today by Alexander McCurris and Professor John

0:06.6

Meersheimer. Welcome, it's great to see the both of you again.

0:11.2

The pleasure to be back, pleasure to be speaking to John.

0:16.4

Yeah, it's a pleasure to be back and to be speaking to both of you for sure.
