Example (The Company)
A Hypothetical company
Syniad Software Ltd was founded some ten years ago by four friends.
All four are members of the Board of Directors, along with two others
who were recruited later.
The company specializes in the production of bespoke software for
clients who demand work of high quality.
Syniad’s head office is in London. Other offices are in Man-chester,
Delft, Netherland.
