number of possible acquisition targets in this area we concluded that bringing on
board our own team, complemented both by Charlotte's previous experience with the
Henley Centre and Future Foundation, and a network of trusted partner companies and

to introduce this offer. The addition of 3000ft further enhances Munro's
