A memorable long service awards night

Over the years the AX Group’s Annual Long Service Employee Awards Night has become one of the most highly anticipated events as it seeks to recognise employees and show gratitude for their years of unwavering service to the company. It was a special evening for employees across all divisions at AX Group as employees working in the construction, hospitality, development and healthcare divisions were recognised for their commitment and long service with the company.

AX Group Chairman, Angelo Xuereb, said he was elated that over 70 of the Group’s employees were receiving the recognition for long service ranging between 5 to 35 years, as it not only showcased their loyalty, but positioned the AX Group as an employer of choice by retaining employees for decades.

It is an honour to acknowledge our valuable employees for the memorable years they have worked tirelessly in moving the AX Group forward,” Mr Xuereb said during the event, which was held at Luzzu Conference Hall this week. ‘’Recognising long service is a celebration of loyalty, commitment and dedication. This AX Awards Night is a testimony to each member’s unique contribution, without exception’’ he commented.
