Ann: FGR presenting at Emerging Growth Conference, page-28

The quote from WG’s inaugural chairman’s address that I like the most is:

”If there is one thing that shareholders could legitimately complain about is the absence of hyperbole. As we all know, the loudest voices tend to get the most attention and this often leads to a stronger share price. However, those loud-mouthed companies are often found lacking when it comes to delivery. Failure to deliver on aggressive promises will lead to share prices being punished. FGR has been a company that would rather under-promise and over-deliver. Directors do not want to have to apologise for failing to meet targets. They want to report tangible benefits.”

Wow! I wonder how many SHs were influenced back then by those WG words of wisdom. If only those words proved to be true.
