When I think about parallels between myself and an Olympian, I believe that success in the world of business is underpinned by very similar principles of perseverance and hard work.

When people can see which direction the leaders are going in it becomes easier to motivate them.

It is true that we are interested in scale but there are very sound reasons for this.

Always think outside the box and embrace opportunities that appear, wherever they might be.

The torch relay is an excellent embodiment of all that the Olympic Games have come to symbolise - a celebration of the human spirit. Personally to me, it represents striving to be the best in whatever we do, never giving up despite the odds, and a commitment to health and fitness.

I understand that this has taken a lot of politicians by surprise. But we believe that this is an important and right step for the steel industry.

We do not believe in oversupplying the market. When you are a large company, you can afford to do it. When you are a small player, your flexibility gets reduced.
