Retirement Farewell Speech – 1

"Good Afternoon Board of Directors, Colleagues and Friends. It’s a pleasure to deliver the speech on my retirement from the company ABC Multinational Co. as the Chief Executive Officer. I welcome you all to this difficult but special occasion.

I have spent ten years with many of you at this company as an executive officer. It is delightful to acknowledge that all of you have given me the best working conditions and environment to deliver my duties and responsibilities. The company is in a high profitable state and is managed well by all of you. Thus, I now feel that it’s the best time to take retirement from my position and give opportunity to other young and charismatic leaders to take over the position.

During the tenure spent at this company, I got opportunities to learn several things that have helped both in my professional as well as personal life. I met and made many friends who supported me throughout. I learnt various key skills such as management ability, time management, honesty and teamwork. This is clearly evident that we have achieved success by working together as a company and have earned several awards due to our dedication and motivation towards reaching our goal as a multinational company. Thus, I can certainly claim that my success in this company is due to the support of you all.

It gives me immense pleasure to claim that our company is a leading one at the present moment. This is all because we work as a team and the company values and respects each and every individual of the organisation irrespective of the position and role. At this special moment, I express my honest gratitude to all my colleagues for your commitment towards ensuring that the company grows beyond the set expectations. Nothing would have been possible without the support, hard work and dedication of my team as well as other co-employees. I am a bit sad because I am going to miss you all and this environment.

I remember the time, when the company incurred a huge loss and the shareholders became impatient with the company, it was the board of directors and my colleagues who stood by me and motivated me. That was a massive challenge for us and through your dedication and unconditional support we came over the situation and are making huge profits now.

This company has been my dream and my only desire was to see this company growing every day. We have achieved the success but it is critical that we maintain this success for the years to come, in fact multiply it by several more accolades and recognition. ABC Multinational Co. is proud to be associated with all the dedicated clients and employees.

I express my special thanks to all of you and wish that you continue to be successful in your life. There is a lot of learning ahead of you; so be focused and persistent and you will be successful in your future endeavours.

Thank you very much.
