On Saturday 19th July 2014, ANSA McAL’s Group Chairman and Chief Executive, Mr. A. Norman Sabga, hosted a special luncheon in honor of the Group’s 2013 Sector Performer winners. The event was hosted at Jaffa at the Oval and celebrated the achievements of nine winners, who represented the Group’s eight sectors and its Corporate Services division.

The Sector Performer Awards was first introduced at their Long Service and Group Awards in 2012 and originally recognized only the Group’s eight Sectors: Beverage, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Retail, Media, Services, Automotive and Distribution. In 2013, the Corporate Services award was added to the list and included Head Office employees from Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados.

At the luncheon the Group’s HR Director, Ms. Teresa White, emphasized the achievements of each of the nine winners and their embodiment of the key principles: getting the people basics right; excellence in execution and acting like an owner. The Group Chairman, Mr. A. Norman Sabga, praised the awardees for their sterling contributions to the Group and encouraged them to continue to strive for excellence in all that they do.
