This time next year the company will have been building houses for twenty-five years. By January we will have built more than 100,000 homes, and I hope that we'll still be building houses in 2050. Although we will be discussing the new situation with you individually, we are sure your jobs will be secure. Through this merger, we will be expanding and so we will be moving into unknown markets. By February, we will have sent you a document about the company's plans. For now, I promise there will be opportunities for all.'
