Well before we get underway today, we have some important news ourselves. Our parent company The Market Herald Limited has today changed its name to The Market Limited with a new ticker code MKT. Our old ticker TMH no longer exists.

The change is about cementing the business as an online marketplace across both the Gumtree Group and in the capital markets via HotCopper and its equivalent in Canada.

The Market Herald online site will also soon change its name to The Market Online – we’ll update you as that comes close.
