Yeah, so you're not supposed to reveal that, but we were workshopping it before you came in.
Thank you, as I said, for joining us.
So Aegis has been here for a long time, has been in Ireland since 1994.
And yet I don't think it's super well known to the average person.
So tell us a little bit about the company, projects you have been involved in Ireland, how many people you employ, just what the Aegis story in Ireland is.
So you're an engineering firm, but within that, there's a lot.
It's not just straightforward.
So do you do everything from design to maintenance and operation and kind of everything in between?
Or what specifically do you do?
And is that a newer part of the business, the operating and maintaining?
How competitive is the space, both in the UK and Ireland?
What sort of companies would be your competitors here?
And I suppose it varies across those different functions.
When the average layperson thinks about big infrastructure projects, one of the things they think about is the complexity that is now involved.
And whether it be accurate or otherwise, there's a sense that there was far less complexity however many decades ago and that things were easier to build.
And that's usually seen as a problem nowadays.
But in some ways is that
the kind of market opportunity for Aegis that, as you said, when people have problems, they come to you to fix them.
Is the complexity something that kind of helps your business in a way?
And it's a very broad question, but is that complexity in general good complexity?
