There are a couple of things you need to change here. Let’s start with the subject of the sentence. It can’t be “the first”. Here is a hint. It’s another word for “company”.

Hi Eliane, welcome to our forum and many thanks for sharing your solution which is almost correct except for just one single letter you need to change. Here is a hint: The noun "staff is uncountable and you need to use a phrasal verb.

Hi!
What is the phrasal verb? I confess that I didn’t see it.

Hi Spiss, welcome to our forum. Your sentence is almost correct except for the verb “extended” which is transitive and therefore doesn’t work here. A transitive verb always requires a direct object for it to make sense. So, which verb do you think sounds similar to “extended” but is intransitive?
