Stage one:

Begin by announcing the name of your new colleague and some brief, relevant details of his previous employment position.

Stage two:

Include a warm compliment to welcome your new colleague and give some initial details of his new role in the company.

Stage three:

Give notice that your new colleague is eager to meet all the members of staff and looks forward to all their help and assistance in carrying out his new role.
