Annual Dinner at Plant: 2008

Outgoing year 2007 attained significance for CIRIN – not only for the achievements during the year – but also for the reason that it geared TeamCIRIN for something much much bigger in following years.

To some, these may seem landmark achievements, yet to many this is just the beginning. It is very much true that the company has just started to show its real potential now. With the right combination of resources, CIRIN was always meant to fare well, and it is doing just that.

Though, management’s leadership played a pivotal role in feats achieved during 2007 and early part of 2008, it still could not have been done without extraordinary commitment and excellent performance of the workers. This will not be an overstatement, if it is said that all this success was due to the determined efforts of TeamCIRIN.

On April 30, 2008 - CIRIN arranged an Annual Dinner to honour its workforce. Members of Board of Directors, Managers and Staff Members from Head Office, came to the plant where a simple but sober ceremony was arranged by the Plant Administration.

The ceremony started with recitation of verses from Holy Quran by Hafiz Atif and Na'at by Mr. Karmran Sohail.

Mr. Ashraf Malik (Plant Manager) welcomed Members of Board of Directors and staff members from Head Office. He thanked colleagues from Head Office – who came all the way to Hattar to share some quality time with their peers at plant.

He appreciated the commitment shown by members at different levels in organizational heirarchy. He said that the Production Team had clearly proved that they could meet any challenge thrown to them. He stated, with pleasure, that the performance of Production Team of CIRIN proved, beyond doubt, that they were amongst most skilled and talented lot of the entire industry.

He said that management was aware of future infrastructure building needs, especially to sustain similar growth rates in future, and assured the audiance that concrete steps were being taken to maintain CIRIN's technical superiority.

Towards the end of his speech, he promised to provide production team an even better working environment - letting them bring out their best in future too.


Khwaja Abdul Basir, Sales Director, also addressed the gathering. He started by thanking the Production Team for its role in realizing the marketing targets of CIRIN - both in quantitative terms as well as qualitative terms.

He opined that the quality perception of CIRIN's products in the mind of doctors, is a testamont to the untiring efforts of entire production team (including quality assurance and quality control departments). He confessed that it made their jobs a lot easier when they (and their customers) had full confidence in the quality of products.

He expressed his inner most desire to steer CIRIN - past the average performers - right amongst the leaders of industry. According to him, it was not impossible, especially with the kind of strong support from production that his department had.

After completing his address, Mr. Basir awared Mr. Ashraf Malik, a shield, to acknowledge his personal role, and that of his team, in CIRIN's success during the year.

Mr. Munim, then, awarded shields to different departmental heads for the commendable role of their respective departments.

Mr. Ashraf Malik announced that, starting from 2008, the company would be awarding "Certificates of Achievement" to top performers in different categories.

He requested Mr. Munim Sultan Mir to come on stage and distribute certificates amongst top achievers.

At the close of certificate distribution ceremony, Mr. Riaz Javeed (Finance Manager) presented Mr. Munim Sultan, a portrait of Company's Logo containing signatures of the entire TeamCIRIN.

The program took a lighter turn, and Mr. Owais (Product Manager) came on stage to read a poem.

A comic skit was also prepared by the Marketing Team and was presented by Mr. Salman Arif, Mr. Salman Shahid, Mr. Javed, and Mr. Owais.
