00:05 (Mark Ellison) Hello everyone, my name's Mark Ellison
00:07 and I'm the Managing Director and CEO of Elders.
00:10 Well it's great to be here and 2024 celebrates the 185th year
00:15 of Elders in Australia.
00:17 So in 1839 Alexander Elder came to Port Adelaide
00:22 with a bunch of gear and that was the start of Elders servicing
00:26 regional and rural Australia.
00:27 It's been a privilege for Elders over 185 years to support
00:31 regional rural Australia and agriculture in Australia
00:34 and our growth and development has paralleled that of agriculture
00:38 for the nation of Australia as we sell to the world.
00:42 In 2024 we'll be celebrating this year.
00:44 We want to thank you in particular for your support as clients
00:48 and supporters in the community of Elders.
00:51 We do our best at all times to support you through thick and thin,
00:56 through good times and bad times, through drought, through flood
01:00 and that's been core to the DNA of all people of Elders
01:05 throughout Australia.
01:06 We look forward to continuing to do that and once again
01:09 we'll enjoy celebrating 185 years in Australia with your support.
01:15 So thank you very much.
