MG, I assume the reply is a direct quote. If so, there is a noticeable absence of basic verbs/tense that would otherwise have assisted us with Glyn's current thoughts. I can only see this as a rather deliberate ploy at ambiguity to maintain the secrecy of the company's state of affairs. Glyn really seems to overdoing the 'dont-give-anything-away' approach lately to the point of absurdity. Hence the positive inferences I have drawn.

"[It would?] Be nice wouldn’t it. That is the objective but [there has been/there will be?] a lot of hard work to try to get there."
