Andrea: Oh yes, here it is. The visit is starting at 10.00 am. That’s in just over an hour from now. It’s scheduled to last for two hours. First we’ll take them into the main conference room. We’ll show them the video about the history of the company. That lasts no more than 20 minutes. And we’ll give everybody a plan of the factory floor so they know where they are. George Paterson will come over at about 11.00 to answer any questions they might have on the production process and so on. Then, at about half past eleven we’ll start the tour of the actual production area.

The visit is starting at 10:00 am.
