      <description>London 19th January 2010 Thank you Nicky, thank you Gareth. May I also extend my welcome to you all, and offer my best wishes for the New Year to those I have not yet had the chance to speak to. Of course, it is not just a New Year that we are entering, but also a new decade which, it must be said, offers great promise for the diamond industry. </description>
