Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Stevenson's, one of the country's major manufacture
rs of metal goods. Thank you for choosing us for your two weeks of work experience. My nam
e is Julia Simmons, and since the beginning of this year I've been the managing director.
Stevenson's is quite an old company. Like me, the founder, Ronald Stevenson, went into the
steel industry when he left school - that was in 1923. He set up this company when he fin

acture components for the machine toolsindustry - although in fact that never came about -
and for the automotive industry, that is, cars and lorries. However, there was a delay of

s site over the next five years. I'd better give you some idea of what you'll be doing dur
ing your two weeks with us, so you know what to expect. Most mornings you'll have a presen

th research and development. And you'll all spend some time in each department, observing
what's going on and talking to people - as long as you don't stop them from doing their wo

to find out how the group were getting on, but your school isn't able to arrange that thi
s year. OK, now I'lI bri
