The people in the other block.

No, because I said, look, without the restaurants, there is no business.

I always say at Reid, we don't have a head office.

Yeah, it's... We don't need one.

It's a collective force.

And you don't need a head office.

We're all one team.

Because everyone's out doing their thing in...

You know, together, you're a brilliant machine and it works brilliantly because everyone's an integral part of that machine.

So that's how I explained it.

And the teams understood it completely.

So, right, we're, as you say, devolving power to you.

This support team will help you achieve that.

And you need to drive this and you need to hit your targets and you need to achieve.

So we did that and that then created the individuality of different brands, Bread Street Kitchen, Uni Street Cafe, London House, and then all the developments in the United States with Burger, Pub.

So there was lots of that individual focus on each of these businesses that then

Well, they were self-perpetuating to a large extent.

And then the support office gave them the resources to see what was good and bad and grow that business.

And that was pretty much what I spent my eight years doing was growing new businesses, new contracts, new relationships with Caesars, with Sands Casino Group.

So CEO, it's a completely different job to being a chef.
