Our company makes computer components, and we need to make sure that production keeps up with demand. Stephen Bird is the man who supervises the production process, and he is helped in this job by Ray Harrison. In addition to our Bristol office and factory, we also have an office in Birmingham: Mary Myers is responsible for the company's work there. Richard Giddings is the one who makes sure people know about our products and services. To tell you the truth, I don't think he's doing a very good job; the company doesn't seem to have made much money for quite a long time now.

A: advertising manager B: area manager C: assistant manager D: personal assistant E: production manager
