ABL celebrates long-serving workers

As part of efforts to build a high-performing talent pool, the Accra Brewery Limited (ABL) has held a long-service awards ceremony to honour 27 employees who have over the years contributed to the company’s vision of being the most admired beverage company in Ghana.

The awards, which included citations and cash, were presented to employees who have served the company from 10 to 35 years across the finance, technical, operations and sales departments.

The Managing Director of ABL, Mr Anthony Grendon, in his remarks at the ceremony, commended the awardees for their admirable service, which had contributed to the growth of the business over its 85 years of operations in Ghana. He encouraged  the employees to be ambassadors of the brewery’s sustainable development drive and stated,’’ In our bid to bring refreshment and sociability, improve livelihoods and help build communities, let us, as employees be mindful of such little things such as energy and water conservation, as well as  littering which inevitably affect the top line growth of our business’.

Geared towards renewing the company’s commitment to its employees, the long-service awards was instituted many years ago to boost staff morale and  encourage talent retention in the premier brewery. 

The Director of Human Resource, Mr Ania Akature, emphasised the importance of employees in building the brand and image of a viable entity such as the Accra Brewery. He noted, “We work and win in teams across the business in ABL, which is why we look forward to the long-service awards as another opportunity to demonstrate the value the  company places on employees who are the company’s enduring advantage. We will continue to harness and develop the talents of our workforce through periodic training and personal development as exemplified in the last three years when the ABL invested GH¢ 2,756,000 in the development and training of its talents to meet the brewery’s expansion project.

The event brought together management, employees and their families.
