Our 22 Christmas party took place in our office in Newbury. Employees from all over England came over in their favourite jumpers. The French team crossed the ocean by ferry. Portuguese colleagues flew over to join. It was one of the coldest days of the year but it got warmer quickly!
The office was masterfully decorated, the food was great (shout out for the amazing donuts gifted by Three UK - seriously amazing!!) and the fun we had was priceless.
We kicked off with an overview of the year to celebrate our achievements and our people with well-deserved pats on the back and applauses for all departments.
The values of Lifecycle Awards recognise employees who embrace our values. The winner for this quarter got a record number of nominations for her excellent work - she is our superstar Michele Purcell! Amandeep Devgan was recognised with an honourable mention. Sam Cole and Pamela Webster were awarded in the category silent heroes. Congratulations!
Nigel Hoyle put down his MS hat for a day, dressed a sequin blazer and became the host of the funniest quiz ever. Michele organised games to put our skills to the test.
We all got a hamper with fresh company swag, Christmassy stuff, candy and savoury snacks and even gin - all hand-picked and packed with the utmost care by Michele!
Pizza, drinks and an open bar at the nearest pub kept everyone going. We look forward to what's to come in 23!
