Christmas in Wellington!
Regional Director Clare Menzies plays Santa with presents for the kids.
Wellington knows how to get into the Christmas Spirit, holding their annual end of year BBQ – complete with music, beers and even a visit from Santa!
CrestClean teams from Wellington and Hutt Valley all joined together at Williams Park in Days Bay for an afternoon of fun, team building and great food!
Wellington Regional Director, Andrew Alleway says about 65 people showed up to celebrate another great year and everyone seemed to be having a great day.
The annual BBQ is a chance for all of the franchise teams to get to know each other and form relationships outside of work. “It’s important to get to know the people in the CrestClean family,” Andrew says, “We are all here to support each other, so it’s great to see such a turn out at events like this.”
Operations Manager Dan Sharma was the ‘Christmas’ter Chef.
The special day was organised by Dan and Aijita Sharma, who have been a part of the Wellington/Hutt Valley CrestClean team for four years. They say that it was great fun to organise the day. Dan says, “We had a lot of help from Andrew, Clare and the rest of the teams- it was a real team effort. It all paid off in the end and it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves.”
The BBQ provided fun for the whole family, including music, beer and wine for the adults and lolly scrambles for the kids. Not only did the kids get to sink their teeth into some delicious sweet treats, but they even had a surprise visit from the man in the red suit himself! Or should we say, woman…
Hutt Valley Regional Director, Clare Menzies dressed in the red suit and sported a white beard for the occasion and handed out Christmas gifts for the children.
“It was great to see the kids having such a good time, and when Santa arrived,” she says, “They were so excited! It’s a great thing to be a part of- being Santa is so great!”
Andrew says, “All in all, it was a classic Kiwi Christmas BBQ and we all had a great time. Thank you to everyone involved, and especially to Dan and Aijita, we couldn’t have done it without your help.”
