Happy New Year. I hope you were able to spend some quality time with friends and family over the festive season and trust you are ready for what I expect will be a challenging and interesting year.

As you know, our attention will be heavily centred on the successful commissioning of our new facility in Tauriko, which to date, I am happy to say, is looking good and we are on track for having saleable board in May. We will also be focusing on the supply chain and coming off allocation as soon as possible, noting we have seen plasterboard demand soften a little over the December/January period.

I wish you all a wonderful start to 2023.
