He continued, “As such, receiving this accolade, which recognises our efforts to attract, develop and retain local talent is a great honor and why we are elated to win this award. It also gives us a sense of our standing against other industry leaders and further inspires us to continue our efforts in building an excellent team.”

The accolade is much deserved and recognises his vast knowledge and experience in Human Resources, which our team benefits from every day.”
