% $millions
Once again it has been a year of change and
challenge. But what sets 2000 apart is that it has
been a year of enormous achievement. There
have been a number of hard won successes
requiring significant financial and strategic
investment. We have implemented a number
of strategic initiatives – a new organisational
structure, new networks, new products, new
businesses, new partnerships and alliances,
new customers and new ways to serve them.
