Mr Turn-over was a
very successful businessman, owner of a food company specializing in tin food
and frozen products. His factory turned
over loads of money every year. He
never turned up late for work at his
office for a lot of things used to turn
up every day - not to mention the harsh competitiveness with other food
companies! He knew well that the company’s success depended on him and his
employees knew it too. He was quite an intelligent entrepreneur, having
inherited his company from his father, now deceased for ten years. His
factories turned out tons of products
every year, some of them new to the market, to suit the most demanding tastes since
he was always open to novelties and hated turning

enthusiasm and zeal.
At every turn of his country you could come up against products of
his company. In short, he had turned out to be an exemplary
businessman! As it happens to be the case, a lot of other businessmen used to turn against him but he managed to turn them away through his savvy. The
truth is that he was immersed in the daily and monthly and annual turn-out of his factories.
