Good morning, everyone. Thanks for coming to my presentation. My name's Robert Pullin, I'm the Director of Human Resources atDCV Fashions.

My purpose today is to talk to you about our company.You can then decide if you'd like to work for us in the future.

2. a) Read the rest of the presentation. What phrases introduce different sections of the presentation?

OK, some basic facts. We were founded in Florence in 1990. That's where we're currently based. Since then, we've expanded at a very fast rate and established our brand worldwide.

We make and sell clothing and fashion accessories for the 18 to 30 age group.

Please take a look at the chart. It shows our financial performance over a five-year period. As you can see, last year, our turnover was over 300 million euros and our net profit approximately 28 million.

What's the key to our success? Well, I'd say there are three reasons we've grown so rapidly. We have a very talented team of young designers. Our distribution system is first class. And we're very creative when advertising and promoting our products.

Moving on now to our mission. It's to be a dynamic company, constantly changing but always leading fashion. Fun, youth, action, energy – this is what our brand is all about.

Finally, a word about our advertising and promotion. DCV advertises on all the Italian TV networks, as well as those in other major European markets. It sponsors fashion shows, and its products are endorsed by many celebrities in the world of music and sport.

Well, I hope you'll be interested to learn more about our company.

Thanks very much for listening to my presentation. Are there anyquestions?
