Brandon, did you hear the big news?
Mr. Featherway has been announced as the new president of this company. He scored pretty fast here!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brandon [11:24 am]
Yes, I saw the notice on the bulletin board.
Actually I had been aware of it before it was announced through my colleague, Jason in the Human resources department.
I think he really deserves it. What do you think?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leia[11:27 am]
Well I don't really see eye to eye with him at work.
And he started work here only 2 years ago.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leia[11:28 am]
There are a few more eligible candidates who are better qualified for that. I think it's totally against company seniority.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brandon [11:30am]
But he has an exceptional talent for marketing.
He has been dedicated to increasing sales figures dramatically just 11-30 am within 2 years since he took charge, which is unprecedented.

Publication acknowledges Henman Financial
Henman Financial has been featured in the popular weekly publication as one of the highest grossing financial service firms in Europe. —[1]—. President and CEO Andrew Henman had worked as an Executive VP at Euro Alliance in Munich before launching his own firm over twelve years ago. After achieving record profits at Euro Alliance, he decided to start his own business in his native city of London. —[2]—. Since that time, his firm has expanded into an international conglomerate with services offered in almost every major market across Europe and Asia, including Barcelona, Zurich & Tokyo. — [3]—. As London Report on Business reported last week, that office will likely be located in New York City. — [4] —. UK Commence also discussed that Henman Financials key to success has been to retain its employees and reduce turnover, which keeps their customers happy and has resulted in revenue levels that easily surpass the competition.
