Because it's not on my list.
Because, you know, the report really, and as Matt will close up in a moment with some of the key takeaways, but the report talks about how much activity will occur in the coming years.
And one of the standout sort of piece of data in the report was about, you know, 77% of the respondents intend to acquire in 2025, but only would imagine, as Donald mentioned, more activity in 2026.
All of the insights and all the conversations we've had so far, I'd like you each just to respond and I'll start off with you, Gilly.
What is the one thing that you'd be recommending to the industry at the moment that they focus on to make this approach of consolidation and the integration really, really efficient, but also really great for our customers?
Because we don't talk enough about the customer.
We always talk about ourselves.
If we're thinking about consolidation, what's that one thing that you would recommend to the industry right now?
And I'll start off with you, Gilly, and I'll go to you, Donald, and then Dave.
It sounds like another episode will come out of that, just talking about the people side.
That's brilliant, Gillian.
Donald, what about you?

So there's some really great snippets about those.
Top mark so far.
What's the figure of those that do have an IMO in their business when they're integrating?
Do they have an integrating management office, a lot of the organizations?
Brilliant.
Love the stats as well.
Then Dave, over to you.
