I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Phil and his team for their outstanding achievements. Very well done!”

“I am extremely pleased to continue our U. S. growth plan and to participate at the board level. The U.S. team has worked very hard and has achieved phenomenal growth of Focusrite and Novation over the last four years.
