We feel that we do not need to change our role significantly but we do need to make it more obvious what that role is. We have therefore decided to state the basis on which each of our activities is measured in order to judge the success (or otherwise) of our operations.
We invite your observations, both positive and negative, as it is from your opinion, not our own, that we can measure our relative success.
