Employees of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, makers of Cowbell, Onga, Toptea and Loya Milk who have served the company for a minimum of 10 years were on Saturday honoured by the company.
The employees, who have worked for 10, 15, and 20 years were honoured for their hard work and meritorious service to the company.
Speaking at the Long Service Award event held at the firm’s Headquarters in Isolo, Lagos on Saturday, Managing Director, Promasidor Nigeria, Olivier Thiry, commended them for their commitment to service. He said their commitment over the years cannot be underestimated as it lubricates the strategic direction of the management.
Thiry stated that the reward to the affected employees was just a token from the management to dedicated and committed employees who strive to place Promasidor ahead of competition in the market. His words: “This is just a gesture to reciprocate your support for Promasidor over the years. Without your invaluable commitment, there would not be Promasidor. The management considers today as a memorable day in the life of all the affected employees and in our corporate life”.
The event was filled with fun, laughter and glamour as the affected employees were rewarded with gifts ranging from refrigerators, to electricity generators, and plasma TV sets.
Other activities included a raffle draw which saw guests carting away gifts such as mini-ovens, pressing irons, rice boilers, sandwich makers and other cooking appliances.
Satisfied with the honour given to them, the recipients of the awards expressed appreciation and love for the company, reiterating that if given another chance to choose a company to work for, they would again choose Promasidor.
One of the recipients, Lovejoy Oluchukwu, an employee who joined Promasidor as a young girl and was rewarded for having served for ten years thanked the company for celebrating her.
In her words “I have always been in love with Promasidor. This is the first and only place I have ever worked (I joined in January 2004) and I started here when I was in my early twenties. They treat and respect all their staff well and are very safety conscious. Working here, I have undergone a lot of trainings from health, to stress management, and facility management training…they have a lot of facilities that help ensure that the staff work effectively. I never believed I could stay this long in a company but with all I have experienced, I tell my friends that I can work for this company without getting paid.”
Lovejoy, who started off working in the production department, has served the company in various capacities ranging from volunteering to working in the Sales Department to working as a Receptionist, acting as the PA to the GM, and Office Assistant to the Managing Director, and currently functions as an officer in the Human Resources Departmen
