Step Success has a growing reputation for delivering measurable and meaningful health benefit in both the public and corporate sector through the use of its innovative technology. The direct to consumer opportunity associated with Step Success is also of particular interest to our business as we are currently developing the company's on-line business, The Wellness Shop. I am also delighted to welcome Joel Campbell to the Ultrasis Group.
