There are nearly twenty workers employed in each branch and all the production departments of these branches were headed by a chief technician and under the chief technician one senior supervisor and a junior supervisor are there to look after the production and design work.
From recent pas the owner or the Managing Director of BK steels noticed that no of workers including the very loyal senior are moving out of the company for other jobs.
