2025 Executive Chairman’s Speech for the Amalgamated Security Services Annual Employee Recognition Function June 2025

Chairman’s Address at ASSL Annual Employee Recognition Awards
By Dr. Michael Aboud, Chairman & Founder

Good morning, everyone.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this special occasion our Annual Employee Recognition Awards. This morning, we gather not simply to mark time, but to honour legacy, loyalty, and the extraordinary contributions of our long-serving team members.

From ten years to as many as thirty-five years of continuous, dedicated service you are the pillars of Amalgamated Security Services Limited. Your unwavering commitment has helped shape this company from its humble beginnings into a trusted regional institution, recognized for its standards, service, and integrity.

As the founder and chairman, I am both proud and deeply humbled. When ASSL began, it was founded on a vision to offer security services defined by professionalism, reliability, and excellence. But vision alone is not enough. It takes people people like you to bring that vision to life. And you have done that, year after year, with discipline, sacrifice, and heart.

You stood firm through the early challenges. You adapted through growth and change. You didn’t just contribute you helped build. You are not only employees you are part of this institution’s living history.

ASSL is now a name that is respected throughout the Caribbean. Our services touch countless lives, our standards influence industries, and our operations continue to expand. But none of this could have been achieved without the steadfast commitment of those we honour today.

To each of you receiving recognition this morning, I offer my deepest thanks. You remind us that greatness is not achieved in grand gestures alone, but in consistent, dependable effort over time. You have led by example, inspired those around you, and earned the respect of an entire organization.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Executive Team, and your fellow colleagues across the region, I extend heartfelt congratulations. Let today serve as a moment of reflection, of appreciation, and of pride not just in the past, but in the future that you continue to help shape.

Let us carry this spirit forward, continue to uplift one another, and recommit to the values that make ASSL not just a workplace but a legacy.

Thank you once again. Congratulations to all our honourees. And let us enjoy this well-deserved celebration of your service.

Let us now bow our heads in a brief word of prayer.

Closing Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
