Quotables:

• 12:19 – “If you want to keep good people there needs to be different pathways available.”
• 21:22 – “Historically we’ve always made sure that a new joiner gets some sort of options or equity in the business so they are an owner, so they do feel part of it, and they are intrinsically tied to the success of the business and want to do right by the customer and value for shareholders which can be them.”
