00:51 The room was full, so that's a great start.
00:53 It was a real cross-section of investors,
00:56 the direct investors, intermediaries, incredibly
01:00 well put together, a great venue.
01:03 I have lots of investors in Scotland.
01:05 In fact, over the last couple of years,
01:07 it's been the fastest growing part of my investor base.
01:09 So it's really important for me to come up here and talk
01:12 to that base.
01:13 And it's events like this that allows that to happen.

01:20 The financial services that come to these conferences
01:25 and other industries, they work across a multitude
01:29 of industries.
01:30 So it's a great opportunity to reach
01:32 into a very diverse audience and explain who you are,
01:39 what your organization is, talk specifically
01:41 about your industry and the things
01:43 that you're passionate about.
01:44 Don't be fooled by the word investment.
01:47 You have got an absolute cross-mix here of people,
01:50 and people who have traveled to the conference as well.
01:53 It's not just people who are local to Edinburgh.
01:56 And I go back to that point about the coverage that
01:59 comes out afterwards.
02:00 And obviously, that's going to be more wide reach.
02:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:06 I think it's really important to get to these events
02:11 more now than ever.
02:13 With the world being shut down for so long,
02:15 I think we've all got too comfortable behind our computer
02:17 screens.
02:18 So to get out and meet people and get a chance
02:21 to talk to them and spend time with them,
02:23 not just the official time listening
02:25 to the speakers and everything, but those side conversations
02:27 that happen.
02:28 And it's particularly good to be in a room
02:30 with your own sector.
