I"d like to say a few words about the organizational structure of Lampell. Now, if you look at the chart you
will see that the Managing Director, that is Mr. Bruce, is responsible for running the company and is accountable
to the Board.
Now, he is assisted by four executive departments. These are Human Resources, which is responsible for
personnel, training and management development; then there"s the Finance Department, which takes care of corporate
finance and accounting; next we have the Management Services Department, led by Peter Collins, who is in charge of
rationalization throughout the company; and finally, there is the R&D Department research and development -- which
works closely with the five regions on new product development.
So this then brings me on to the regions. Directly under the Managing Director, there are five Regional
Managers. Each of them is responsible for the day-to-day management of a territory, these are geographically split
into north, south, east, west and central regions.
Now then, the five regions are supported by two sections -- Marketing and Technical Services. They are
organized on a matrix basis with section leaders accountable to the Regional Managers. They work closely with the
regions on the marketing and technical side.
Now, in addition to the parent company, Lampell has three subsidiaries, namely Lampell France, Germany and
Japan. The subsidiaries report to the Export Sales Department, which in turn is accountable to the Board.
Right, well that"s a brief overview. Are there any questions?
