Who is the speaker? [originaltext] I’d like to take this opportunity to thank

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for coming, and to announce the opening of our new "Ladies and Gentlemen" flagship store, featuring our newest line of upscale fashions called "Urban," here in the heart of Toronto’s fashion district. Our store will employ a staff of forty five people. We will have twenty staff working in the men’s department, twenty in women’s and a team of five who will be at our cosmetics counter. This is a very special day for us. Ten years ago, we started as just a little booth in the mall in Kitchener. At that time we mostly carried sweatshirts, T-shirts, and jeans. Now,10 years later, we have stores in New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and now our new home base here in Toronto. We look forward to getting to know this city and bringing our modern fashions to the people here.
