The Cooper Research Group recently held a ceremony to recognize the people who have driven their success over the past 12 months.
(1888PressRelease) May 20, 2014 - On Saturday 3rd May, The Cooper Research Group held their annual Group Distinction Ceremony. The awards ceremony was first held in 2009, to recognize and celebrate the performance and success of the newly formed Private Client Division.
Proceedings began with a speech by Marcel Romain, Chief Executive Officer, noting the triumphs and achievements of the division as a whole. Mr. Romain went on to discuss the division's goals and aspirations for 2014.
"We have exceeded all of our targets, not once have we missed our mark. Every member of our team have gone above and beyond what is expected of them to create a service that we all can be proud of. We have shown our clients that through dedication, discipline and a defined strategy we can help them to create a more promising future for themselves and their families.
"I commend you all, without exception, for the absolutely sterling work that has been done over the course of the last year. It shows we have the ability to be truly excellent and that is something we must strive to maintain. 2014 is to be a key period in the group's growth and continued dominance. The current expansion of the Private Client Division will set the pace for the plans we have for the future. Whilst we will still adhere to our core principles, we will strive to encompass new ideas and adapt, as we always have, to the constantly changing world around us. I am very excited about what we are looking at and I am sure you will be also."
After several more speeches from prominent employees such as Senior Portfolio Managers Caroline Gest, Richard Hadden, and Michael Bailey the awards ceremony began.
