Unilever honours top teams

To bring the true spirit of “Carnivale” to life for the teams, the attendees were given the opportunity to be creative by designing their own face masks highlighting the importance of creating a strong visual impact which is critical in merchandising and visibility.

The event was opened by Roxane de Freitas, Managing Director of Unilever Caribbean Limited who commended the teams on their outstanding contributions to the successes in 2009 and encouraged them to welcome the challenges ahead for 2010.

She said: “Our Customer Development, Brand Building and Merchandising Teams are vital to our success of execution at the point of purchase where consumers interact with our products; the commitment and passion displayed by these teams continue to be an example of resounding excellence.”

Some of the winners for the afternoon were:

* Terry Dewan - Salesman of The Year 2009

* Marvis Ceasar - Merchandiser Of The Year Winner (Large Category)

* Brenda Gay - Merchandiser Of The Year (Small/Medium Category)

Highlights of the afternoon included a wonderful rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Man in Mirror” sung by employees Allan Suite and Brenda Butler during which a collection was raised to donate to Haiti. The group was also treated to a performance by the HD Family. The occasion provided a forum for the Brand Building, Sales, Export, Management Committee and Merchandising teams to celebrate together.
