Thank you for recommending HKA as a "Great Place to work" with a positive outlook. Your headline is wonderful to read, especially as you have been working with us for over eight years. Thank you so much for all of your contributions over the years; as you will have shaped the success of HKA and helped us with our continuous improvement. I was pleased to read your Pros of "Strong leadership, decent compensation structure" - thank you. We are not complacent and continue to work hard to make further progress in these areas. I am sorry that you don't appear to be a fan of our private equity (PE) approach. This is a shame as there are many benefits of having a PE Board; including their sharp commercial leadership that helps HKA to improve and of course their investment to help us improve further for our people and our clients. If you would find it helpful to talk more on this point; please do reach out to me and we can exchange views. Thank you so much again for posting. We value all opinions and learn from them. Finally please do keep well during these challenging times. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
