blueAPACHE 2016 end of year celebrations - blueAPACHE
Another year has gone by and with December comes the time to celebrate our efforts, our achievements and our successes. 2016 has been a great year for us. We have expanded our presence in New South Wales and Queensland, strengthened our relationship with our partners, built on our service catalogue and our team size has now grown to nearly 80.
None of this would have been possible without the commitment and dedication of each and every member of our team. It was time to reflect on our wins and recharge for the year ahead.
We kicked off proceedings with a formal company update that helped staff garner details on our background, our vision, and our growth. It was an opportunity for the executive team to reinforce key highlights of the year and their strategy for the next 12 months.
The update concluded with our annual staff awards. Presentations made for excellence in customer service, project, engineering, innovation and our ‘This is IT’ award – presented to the person who most exemplifies the blueAPACHE spirit.
From awards to tournaments. Ten-pin bowling proved quite the crowd pleaser with teams getting passionately involved in the game. There was jubilant celebrations…
…and writ large disappointments.
After four rounds of consistently great bowling and knocking out every other team, Jordin and team emerged champions. Their trophies and bragging rights are well deserved.
At last it was time to just relax, enjoy the music and have a good time. And the team did just that!
This celebration would not be complete without acknowledging our customers and our partners, whose support has helped shape our business. For that, we sincerely thank each and every one of you.
