On the evening of Thursday, 2 May, the Trade Centre was transformed as Sandals Grenada hosted its most highly anticipated, team member event, Annual Prestige Awards, rewarding outstanding team member performance for the year 2018.

Every month winners are selected, and then compete to be the top performer for the year, winning a plethora of prizes including vacations at local resorts, vacations at other Sandals/Beaches Resorts, tablets, smart watches, home appliances, cash prizes, engraved awards and certificates.

The evening kicked off with a glamorous Red Carpet hosted by Mikey Hutchinson and Sandals’ own, Gary Roberts. Sandals pulled out all the stops to pamper and entertain all of the night’s nominees: well-known local saxophonist Lyndon Langdon entertained at the opening cocktail and during dinner Thamara St Bernard held the stage; Conception Dance Theatre raised the roof with a carnival-themed presentation, and to culminate the celebration Jeverson Ramirez and Trio rocked the crowd at the post-event party.

Despite the glitz and festivity, the purpose of the event was maintained, to show appreciation and give recognition to those who have gone above and beyond to see Sandals Grenada remain at the top of leader board.

The main event began with a stirring motivational piece by renowned local poet, Carlene Perryman; “You see courage is not the absence of fear/It’s not even anonymous/To be successful you have to become comfortable being uncomfortable/You have to continue being bold when the roadblocks come/Find the courage to re-navigate/Re-focus.”

On a similar note, Guest Speaker, Shadel Nyack Compton (Owner and Managing Director of Belmont Estate) urged the Sandals team to take leaps of courage within their own lives, “You are in a perfect position to make a difference in Grenada. Many children will never have the opportunity to reach their dreams because no one opened the doors of success to them; be that person, open the door. Teach the next generation the value of industry, enterprise and taking care of the environment. Look into your family, your community and see what can be done.” She also commended the Corporate Social Responsibility of the brand and the Sandals Foundation, “I applaud Sandals for extending the core value of Social Responsibility to everyone who works for the company. There is no better harvest than to see changed lives in the people around you.”
