their success with Group Chief Executive, Peter Winslow
Employees from leading city business, Fusion, part of the BGL
Group, attended the company's tenth Annual Awards Ball, with a
show-stopping 'Out of Africa' theme. The yearly event is designed
to highlight employees who have demonstrated the Group's core
values and to thank them for their dedication and hard work.
Staff from the company's six locations across the UK dressed up
in their finery to attend the black tie event at the ICC in
Birmingham. This year's theme saw African dancers, acrobats and
singers entertain the revellers. Guests also enjoyed a cocktail
reception, three-course dinner, and entertainment from the renowned
European Swann Band.
BGL's Group Chief Executive, Peter Winslow, presented the awards
and said: "Everyone has worked very hard over the past year,
uniting as a team, to ensure the BGL Group continues to remain a
success. This success is underpinned by the commitment and
enthusiasm of everyone who attended the ball.
"The ball is the most prestigious event in the BGL calendar. The
event really does help to recognise everyone's contribution and is
a great way to thank people personally for helping to shape the
company as it is today. The dance floor was full all night and the
entertainment was extremely well received by all who attended."
The award winners, nominated by colleagues, were chosen for
demonstrating the seven company values which are being creative,

encouraging, and united, as well as caring for the customer.
