Welcome to JPC. You know already how valuable your skills will be to us as we expand I believe you have fifteen different languages between you.
     There are three of us in Personnel and I’m the one you should come to for any help or information. The other two are Tom Miller and Jeff Said, and my name is Joan Rueckert, that’s R-U-E-C-K-E-R-T. I’d just like to give you a few practical details now, before the MD comes to talk to you.
     Firstly, the canteen on the ground floor is open all day for coffee, meals, etc. , but there are also coffee machines on the top floor, where we have all the company noticeboards, so staff often meet there to talk.
     Next, some of you have asked about your tax position ... and for any tax questions, you need to contact the Accounts Office, general salary enquiries can be made to the Finance Office itself. Two events, now. Today, in the conference room, at 2:40, there’ll be a presentation it’s not on new developments as the notices say, it’s actually on marketing. You’re welcome to attend to see how we’re moving in that area. There’ll also be a buffet lunch for all staff working on the. new projects — that includes you, that’s on Wednesday — sorry, I mean Thursday — you’ll get full details later.
     Finally, sometimes you’ll need to use the machines in the print room. The first time you go there, register for a plastic card — you don’t need it for ordinary photocopiers, but you do for the colour ones.
     The other thing to sign up for, if you want to, is the sports club, just two minutes from hero. If you’re interested, see Jeff Said, who’ll give you an application form.
     Right, that’s all for the moment. Here’s coffee, and the MD is just come through now.
