For the first
fifteen minutes Mrs. Ross droned on covering the facts and figures of the
Company’s performance with congratulations given to deserving individuals of
all ranks within the business.
A brief pause
whilst Mrs. Ross sipped on a glass of water her eyes piecing the crowd to focus
on a trembling Debbie and she began.
“It would be
remiss of me not to mention the sterling efforts during her time with Sapphire
and Ross of one of our senior executives Miss Jackson. You will know Miss
Jackson from the many times she stood on this very platform to eloquently
delivery many a presentation to us all. During her time with the company she
worked diligently to build our compliance department along with her team and in
no small part her secretary Jane Simpson.”
Mrs. Ross then
waxed lyrical for a further ten minutes recounting the milestones of Miss
Jackson’s career over the years she had been at the company laying plaudits
like confetti.
