Mark Read: Thank you very much and welcome everybody to WPP's Preliminary Results for 2023. I'm Mark Read. I'm joined here by Joanne Wilson, our CFO; and Tom Waldron, our Head of Investor Relations. So turning to the presentation, please take notice of our cautionary statements on Page 2. And for the meeting on Page 3, I'm just going to cover the highlights of our financial performance before Joanne takes through that in more detail. I'll then reiterate the strategy we laid out at the Capital Markets Day just over three weeks ago before taking questions. Turning to Page 5, the highlights. We had a resilient performance in 2023 with like-for-like growth of 0.9% and a headline operating margin of 14.8%, up 0.2% on a constant-currency basis showed excellent cost-control, and we are pleased to have continued margin progression this year.
