Over more than a year / Over a year

Hi guys,

I am pondering whether any one these sentences are grammatically correct:

Over a year doing business experience with XYZ, he proves to be trustworthy.

or

Over more than a year doing business experience with XYZ, he proves to be trustworthy.

Is any of those sentences grammatically correct? If not, how should I change it? Thanks guys

Probably you mean "he has proved to be trustworthy", but "doing business experience with XYZ" is not right either. Do you mean that he has been working for XYZ? g.

thanks for the correction. I meant to say he has been doing business like buying from other company for more than a year now, I am just not sure how to put that in a proper sentence. Do you have any suggestion on how to correct the initial sentence?

Thanks again.

Over more than a year of doing business with XYZ, he has proved to be trustworthy.

He has been doing business with XYZ for more than a year now, and during that time he has proved to be trustworthy.

I kind of prefer the second one. The first one is just slightly offputting to parse.
