Young and old alike enjoy Cordeel anniversary and retirement party

Many jubilant returns were had by all present at Cordeel Nederland's recent anniversary and retirement party in Dordrecht. The spotlight focused on 13 employees from both 2020 and 2021 as last year's festivities were sadly cancelled due to the ongoing COVID circumstances.

There were reasons galore to express sincere gratitude to the three employees celebrating their 35th, 30th and 25th anniversaries with us and the seven employees marking their 12.5-year anniversaries. They were all formally recognised for their untiring dedication to the organisation. As Erik De Bruyn, CEO of Cordeel Nederland, said in his speech: "Let this be an example to the young among us. I am hopeful and confident we will be able to welcome tomorrow's new talent into our family and honour them in the future."

With three employees signing off to enjoy their well-deserved retirement, appreciation was shown for their career-long contribution to Cordeel Nederland. CEO De Bruyn added that "our company believes long-term commitment is the power behind our success. With our clients and certainly with our employees too."

It really was a case of the more the merrier this year as former employees and retirees were also invited to enjoy the party. An evening of joyful encounters and meaningful reconnections with the return of old friends, who, in some cases, had retired more than 10 years ago. With all those smiling faces, we are happy to say a wonderful tradition has been born!

We also said farewell to two employees who are retiring this year after long and successful careers. As is customary during this annual get-together, we thanked all jubilarians — in the presence of colleagues, new recruits and retirees — for their much-valued commitment over the years. During the event, Erik De Bruyn, CEO Cordeel Nederland, said, “Without you, we would not be where we are today with the company. A big thank you for that.”
