The Cause for Applause awards celebrated four outstanding Farsons Group employees in three categories: Shine and Sparkle, Wellness and Zest, as well as the top Cause for Applause award. Thirty employees were nominated for the awards by their managers.

John Bugeja, machinist on the PET Line, was the winner of the Shine and Sparkle award, which recognises excellence in quality consciousness and practice that is not limited to housekeeping and cleanliness but includes quality service of the highest standards.

The Wellness award was awarded to Derek Curmi, previously Water Vendor at Eco Pure. This award applauds employees that adopt and promote healthy lifestyles as well as health and safety practices at the workplace.

The winner of the third category, the Zest award, was Janice Baldacchino, security clerk/receptionist. The award applauds outstanding positive attitude and behaviour that fosters healthy, professional relationships with colleagues and clients.

Patricia Bugeja, team leader at Pizza Hut, was presented with the top award, the Cause for Applause title, which recognises those individuals who are seen as role models of excellence, shown through consistency in attitude, integrity, respect, motivation and dynamism in their daily work life and beyond.

The Cause for Applause awards were launched by the Farsons Group last year and are now an annual celebration of its employees. Overall the Group’s message to its employees is that ‘Everyone is a Winner’, making a difference to the Group’s ambitions and their realisation.

The event, compered by Keith Demicoli, was held at the Corinthia Ballroom, Attard. It was patronised by Farsons Group chairman Louis Farrugia and chief executive Norman Aquilina.

“We are extremely proud of our Group’s achievements as well as our employees. Together, as one team, we are more able to achieve continued success and over-come new challenges,” said Mr Aquilina.
