As 2022 comes to an end, the Beekman Group took the time to recognise and reward staff members for their consistent hard work throughout the year. On the 18th of November 2022, the annual Year-end function took place at the Port Shepstone Country Club and was attended by Head Office staff and all the Resort Managers too.
The memorable carnival-themed event kicked off with entertainment by the talented Gino Fabbri, who easily slipped into several characters in a short amount of time and had everyone in laughter with his singing, monologues, dancing, and drumming skills. The MC, our very own Grayson Ibrahim, also had the audience laughing and kept everyone entertained. The Resort Managers pleasantly surprised us with their dance moves too in an unexpected choreographed flash-mob style performance, but the honour belongs to the award recipients; some for hard work and some for long service with the company.
Without further ado, the award recipients are:
