Yes, the meeting seemed to go pretty well and we covered all the important areas in my agenda. There were one or two small points that I would have liked to have got through but I can probably have my assistant send up memos to the managers of each department concerning these. I must say I was very impressed with your ideas for the future of your department. Good work, I’m also very impressed with that young man in the finance department. What’s his name? Uh, Mike. He could have quite a future in front of him. I can certainly use fresh ideas like his in this company.

I think I mentioned to you all before that at the interdepartmental meeting with the managing director last week, it was put to me that we need to look into expansion into new markets. And I am interested in any suggestions that anyone in our department may come up with. You had some excellent ideas for expansion last year when we moved to the Mid-eastern market. So if you could all give that some thought, I know, Sarah, that you said you looked into the possibility of further eastern European Customers on your last trip to the Czech Republic, and I’ll be interested in your report, uh, when it’s ready.
