Burger King has stamped its mark on the Barbadian market. With ten years under their belt, they have made a conscious decision to recognize the contribution of their valued employees. On Sunday night, members of staff stepped away from their daily duties to enjoy the 10 th Anniversary Awards Ceremony and Dinner at the Sandals property in Maxwell Christ Church.
Their special treatment started from the time they arrived at the venue, when they were presented with a celebratory glass of sangria. The importance of reaching that decade milestone was obvious with the
attendees stepping out in fine style making bold fashion statements. Sequins and daring splits were featured prominently in the eye-catching apparel. As the attendees enjoyed the sumptuous dinner, they were entertained by the music of local saxophonist Mylon Clarke who performed a myriad of genres during his session.
Awards and tokens of appreciation were presented to long serving members of the company. The recipients were broken down into two categories, those who have been with the organization for either
five or ten years. Both past and present directors were also recognized. Among the guests in attendance were the Hon Ralph ‘Bizzy’ Williams and David Schnier Deputy Chief of Mission – United States Embassy.
Colleagues from the affiliate Lakes Group, Lisa, Michael and Richard Lake were in attendance, for the monumental occasion.
Operations Manager Lloyd Holder was deservingly presented with Directors’ Award for Outstanding Leadership and Exceptional Commitment to Burger King Barbados. Holder, who has been with the company from the first year of operation was pleasantly surprised at receiving the accolade. In his brief remarks he credited his team, expressing profuse thanks for their commitment. Master of ceremony duties were conducted by Belle Holder. She tested the eager team members knowledge with some trivia questions, and winners secured vouchers from Duty Free Caribbean.
General Manager Ryan Walters was among the recipients recognized for his ten years of service. In his remarks Walters acknowledged that 98% of their local workforce were under the age of 40 years old.
He assured that the needs of the employees will remain at the forefront for management. He emphasized, “I want you to know that we will do our best to ensure that opportunities are open for you to continue to grow in the organization. I want to let you know that we are committed to ensuring that you have the appropriate benefits for yourselves and your families to have a sustainable livelihood.”
The night closed with an afterparty in which the guests enjoyed signature cocktails, and the 360 photobooth which was on site.
