“Good evening, honoured guests, friends and colleagues, ladies and gentlemen:
Let me thank you and welcome you to the celebration of Lockton Wattana’s 40 th anniversary this evening.
We are here tonight to celebrate our 40 years of, I would say, considerable success. Wattana Associates was set up in 1984 and the last 40 years have been a long journey, through our partnerships with Citicorp Insurance Brokers, Nelson Hurst, Alexander Forbes, and now the Lockton Group from the U.S. Obviously, we must have been doing something right that, after all our hard work, Lockton Wattana has been recognized as one of the leading insurance brokers in Thailand. And, perhaps, the best in the country.
So, we are here to have this big celebration, to give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, and to take a few minutes to revel in our success. We are here also to look into the future. We are here to talk about “building the future, while embracing the legacy”. And we are here most of all, to give thanks and appreciation to the “Three Pillars of our Success”.
I have to take a minute here to thank a couple of people who have been behind me with all their support, through thick and thin, over all the years. They have also suffered, as more often than not, I do not have enough time for them. They are truly, for me, the fourth pillar of our success. I would like to thank my wife, Khun Chitra and my daughter, for all their understanding and support. Thank you.
