Plans for investment in its facilities, including extensions to fabrication halls at Belfast, and the rollout of robotics, automation, and digital capabilities to improve cost competitiveness

How three years of investment in its facilities has resulted in success as part of the Team Resolute consortium to become preferred bidder on a £1.6bn contract to provide three support vessels to the Royal Navy

Opportunities in the defence sector, and tailwinds for the sector including increases in global naval spending and the UK’s levelling up ambitions

Activities in the renewable and energy space as a result of increasing concerns over energy security, including progress on the Islandmagee gas storage project, and opportunities in floating wind and nuclear through international collaborations

The outlook for the cruise ship market as the holiday market recovers, and how Harland & Wolff is set to capitalise

How recent contract success affects financial guidance and the timescale for shareholder returns, and the possibility of future capacity expansion and vertical integration

The importance of reinforcing the management team, and investment in workforce recruitment and retention
