Quotes:
“I think companies use the report and accounts to a degree, but I think they could do a lot more on their website in terms of educating. This is our business, this is how we make money, these are the inputs into our business, so when you see that something has happened to oil, this could be the impact, and we can protect ourselves from that.” -Andy Brough [0:18:02]
“When you design a presentation, present it to your 10-year-old. If they can understand what you do, you're on the right track.” - Andy Brough [0:28:51]
