We're focused on the present, and on building a prosperous future:for our customers, our people, the community. And yes, for ourshareholders too, but we'll only be able to do this if we get itright in the market place, in the workplace, and in the communitiesin which we leave our footprints.So the only thing old-fashioned about Halls right now is ourvalues, and our commitment to building a resilient, long termfuture through creating shared value. We're relentless aboutperformance. But we don't believe there has to be a choice betweendelivering exceptional performance and making the right investmentsin the wellbeing of our people and our planet.To deliver the success we strive for in our fresh produce, propertyand new investment businesses means we're going to need to break some ofthe old rules. Create some new ones. We recognise that if we don't likechange,we're going to like irrelevance even less. And as a familybusiness, at Halls we like the idea of shaping the future with the seventhgeneration in mind.
