Famalco Group employees set their inner child free as they were treated to the company’s long-awaited ‘Big Toy’ day. This event saw two of the parent company’s industries, Faceworks and Fahrenheit, teaming up and temporarily loaning their machinery to their employees and families for a day of fun test drives.

This event was just one of the many company outings the group hosted this year, always striving to reward their hard-working employees to keep them motivated for success.

The group’s mantra is ‘We empower you to grow’, and Famalco does not take this saying lightly, as it believes its employees are their biggest investment. As with any worthwhile investment, one has to carefully manage it to maintain positive results. By means of these company outings, the group invests in its employees to help them to relax and take a break from their daily grind at the office.

By recharging their brain, which is their greatest tool in the workplace, employees are able to increase creativity and productivity at the office. These outings also serve to increase employee engagement in work, as they will be more excited on returning to work the next day with them feeling included and nurtured by the company.

Famalco Group believes that the company outings are beneficial to strengthen workplace bonds, where directors and employees can interact together in a relaxing environment and share stimulating stress-free conversation away from the hustle and bustle of the office.

As part of the day, attendees got the thrilling opportunity to try out machines like Fahrenheit’s staple green reefer trucks, as well as Faceworks’ trenchers, excavators and many more. Employees had a blast trying out these muscle-machines in what can easily be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Apart from these test-runs, the attendees were given the chance to ride in various offroad vehicles on a custom-built, offroad track, specifically designed for the event. Later on in the day, attendees were also entertained by a Bangers race in the custom-built track, as well as being given the chance to drive laps in the scrap cars themselves. After all the fun was had, the scrap cars were destroyed by the offroad vehicles and Faceworks excavators in a spectacle of total destruction.

Since ‘Big Toy’ day was catered for the entire family, the group made sure that children were provided with entertainment as well, with the presence of a bouncing castle. Trampolines were also available for adults, further encouraging employees to join in with the children’s shenanigans and throw their serious demeanour out the window for the day. Attendees were also provided with music and an abundance of food and drink, including popcorn and cotton candy.

The group’s co-founder and director Hermann Mallia joined in the fun, saying that the day was an extreme success. “It was great to see employees with their families and friends relaxing and having fun. We are always looking for ways to express our gratitude towards our hardworking employees,” he said.

All of Famalco’s events are held as a ‘thank you’ to employees who work tirelessly for the ever-growing company, believing wholeheartedly in the brands they represent, as well as in the diverse spread the company has on the Maltese business industry.
