$100 million. NSB Retail Systems provides software packages to department stores and fashion chains such as Selfridges or Debenhams. The company was founded in 1994 and now employs 600 people.

What is the secret of her success? She has always been ambitious. After school she took a summer job with IBM and stayed for fourteen years. ‘I then knew I wanted to run a public company by the age of thirty-five and after that to have a company worth $0.5 billion by 2001.’ Another reason is her husband, GEOFF, who works part-time for the company and part-time at home looking after their two children. He took earlier retirement from IBM, which allowed NIKKI to concentrate on her career. She doesn’t work at weekends and takes all her holidays. Her employees can work from home if they want to and she allows them time off for their families when necessary. ‘I see someone’s career as a long journey. We are long-term employers,’ she said, after receiving her prize from the sponsors Veuve Cliquot. These are very strong, old-fashioned values from someone at the head of such a modern, high-tech company.

Are these sentences true (T) or false (F)? Write T for true and F for false.

1. NSB Retail Systems doesn’t have offices in four countries. ____2. GEOFF Beckett runs NSB Retail Systems. ____3. NIKKI and GEOFF both worked for LEO Beer. ____4.
