At the time we (4) employed just 25 people; that number (5) has grown to the present 1200. Our turnover was only £50,000, whereas today it (6) has grown to £35 million.
In those early years, the conditions were not particularly comfortable. I (7) worked in a tiny office without heating, and, of course, in those days we (8) had no computers, which make life so much easier today. We were based in run-down inner city area.
Things (9) have changed considerably since we (10) moved to our current greenfield site. The first years were particularly difficult. We (11) faced strong competition from more powerful competitors and on several occasions we were close to going out of business. The turning point came in 1974 when we (12) won a small government contract to produce electrical components for aircraft. We (13) have taken on more staff and (14) have invested a considerable amount of money in Research and Development and (15) have gone from strength to strength ever since.
In recent years, we (16) have expanded our product range and (17) strengthened our position in the export market. These changes (18) have helped in the strength of our current position. The recent deregulation of markets within the European Union (19) enabled us to increase our exports to Europe and we are now in a position to expand our European operations still further. As far as business with the rest of the world is concerned, in the early years exports to the Far East, for example, (20) represented less than 1% of our output, whereas now they represent nearly 15% of our total production.
Объяснение:
Мы (1) провели еще один отличный год. Я хотел бы поблагодарить всех за упорный труд, который (2) привел к этому успеху. Как вы знаете, мы (3) начали свою деятельность в 1965 году как небольшое производство электрических компонентов для автомобильной промышленности. В то время у нас (4) работало всего 25 человек; это число (5) выросло до нынешних 1200. Наш оборот составлял всего 50 000 фунтов стерлингов, тогда как на сегодня он (6) вырос до 35 миллионов фунтов.
В те далекие годы условия были не особо комфортными. Я (7) работал в крошечном офисе без отопления, и, конечно же, в те дни у нас (8) не было компьютеров, которые сегодня серьезно облегчают жизнь. Мы базировались в захудалом районе города.
Ситуация (9) значительно изменилась с тех пор, как мы (10) переехали на нашу нынешнюю площадку. Первые годы были особенно трудными. Мы (11) столкнулись с сильной конкуренцией со стороны более сильных производителей, и несколько раз мы были близки к тому, чтобы выйти из бизнеса. Поворотный момент наступил в 1974 году, когда мы (12) выиграли небольшой государственный контракт на производство электрических компонентов для самолетов. Мы (13) наняли больше сотрудников и (14) вложили значительные суммы денег в исследования и разработки, и (15) с тех пор становимся все сильнее и сильнее.
За последние годы мы (16) расширили ассортимент нашей продукции и (17) укрепили наши позиции на экспортном рынке. Эти изменения (18) помогли укрепить нашу текущую позицию. Недавнее дерегулирование рынков в Европейском союзе (19) позволило увеличить наш экспорт в Европу, и теперь мы можем еще больше расширить нашу деятельность в этом регионе. Что касается бизнеса в остальных странах, то в первые годы экспорт на Дальний Восток, например, (20) составлял менее 1% нашей продукции, тогда как сейчас он составляет почти 15% нашего общего производства. #SPJ1
