A spooky, scary, sinister Halloween within our business - blueAPACHE
2017
The ghosts, ghouls and witches of us were out in force to celebrate Halloween in our global head office in Melbourne. The Client Services Group turned up at work on Tuesday to find that the office landscape had changed overnight taking on an eerie vibe.
“This was a great opportunity to do something fun and non-work related with the team and share a few laughs. I enjoyed dressing up as zombie pirate although, according to some, my costume was more comical than scary”, said Simon.
We also had a costume competition judged by James; the women from our global team rocked their creepy outfits with Samantha and Ana Maria taking home the prizes. “I was dressed as the white witch. I was worried about my contact lens but turns out the wig was heaps more uncomfortable! But it was fun and everyone had a good time”, said Samantha.

“The involvement and participation was great to see and it makes blueAPACHE an awesome place to work. We will continue to initiate more such activities and I’d encourage everyone to participate and get to know one another and further build camaraderie”, continued Simon.
From all of us here within our business, we hope you had a great Halloween.
