Bi-Rite held a Gala Awards Dinner to recognise and celebrate its members, following a range of sessions from the management team and guest speakers at its annual conference in Fiji.
The dinner was hosted in the lavishly decorated Grand Salon Ballroom at the Marriott Momi Bay. Celebrations were kicked off by a Fijian Fire Dance, before the opening address.
Bi-Rite CEO, AK Sacur said, “I’d like to welcome everyone to the gala dinner. I hope you walk away with valuable insights into how we are as a business today and how we are moving forward, but tonight we’re here to celebrate.”
Narta CEO, Michael Jackson (MJ) said, “25 years is a milestone that the entire Bi-Rite team should be very proud of. Beyond business achievements, they should also be proud of being recognised as good people. Above everything, that’s more important than sales numbers. 25 years is a massive achievement and it’s a great success to be a part of.”
Narta COO, Darren Spencer added, “Congratulations to Bi-Rite. Both MJ and I have been with Narta for 20 years and we have enjoyed the opportunity to work closely with Abdul (Senior) and the current management team supporting independent retailers.”
