At the beginning of the 2019-20 financial year, nobody could have predicted the uncertainty and unrest that early 2020 would bring. The way in which BMD operates will remain changed for the foreseeable future, with some of our updated processes and procedures becoming business as usual.
The past 12 months have been unlike anything that I have experienced during my career. Despite the uncertainty of the second half of the 2019-20 financial year, it has been extremely pleasing to see our people and partners seamlessly adapt to changing circumstances and continue to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients.
Despite challenges faced in the last quarter of the 2019-20 financial year, the BMD Group achieved financial performance in line with original budget expectations.
The tenacity and expertise of our people was highlighted during the 2019-20 financial year, with our teams taking the challenges associated with COVID-19 in their stride, seamlessly adapting to changing work environments and continuing to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients.
