My Mark: Alberto: grandfather started the company seventy years ago, and I took over running the business from my own father a few years ago. Where do you work, Mark? I'm at Smithson's Steel. I work in the design department. I've been there for about ten years. I started as assistant to the chief designer and then, after a year or two, I got a promotion to designer.

When I started, there were two designers, three assistants like me, and the Head of Design, but now there are fifteen of us and the company is planning to take on another five assistants next year. What about you? We're growing, too. We've had some good orders in the last eighteen months and we've been able to develop in certain areas, particularly in South America, making traditional products using local workers and materials. Mark: Alberto: Mark: Alberto: Did you bring any members of staff with you? Yes, five heads of department are here with me. What about you? It's the same with us.

That must be fun! Mark: Alberto: Mark: Alberto: Mark: Alberto: Yes! Are you married? Yes, I am, but my wife isn't very fond of these events.
