Explanation:
I don't think a supplier would address a letter to "the management", even if he'd never heard of Hale & Pace. Non-UK members should consult their GB friends about this reference.

Grading comment

Ich denke, ich optiere für Chief Executive Officer (selbst in der deutschen Firma, in der ich mal beschäftigt war, wurde der Geschäftsführer so bezeichnet). Auch wenn ich als Antworten wie "corporate manager" oder "general manager" gewartet habe.
