Last year marked 25 years of Acis and all we have delivered so far, but that's just the start of it. We're ambitious, looking to deliver more for the people we support, put customers needs and priorities at the heart of our decision making, and our positive and inclusive culture means that it's a great place for people to work and thrive. As we continue to grow and evolve, strong governance and constructive challenge from our Board are essential to keeping us focused on our purpose, our customers and sustainable delivery.
