DEAR SHAREHOLDER, Thank you for your support in 2020. It was an extraordinary year and while it is still too early to fully assess the impact of Covid-19, there are lessons I think we can draw upon, even as we continue to navigate the pandemic. TAKING CARE OF OUR PEOPLE AND WIDER STAKEHOLDERS The most significant lesson is to always be guided by your values and at Weir, that means thinking safety first and taking care of our people and wider stakeholders.
