Amalgamated Security Services Limited (ASSL) hosted its Annual Chairman’s Cocktail Reception which encompasses a Christmas cocktail celebration for senior staff as well as the annual Chairman’s special awards distribution for the first time in person after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was held on Thursday 22nd December at the Five Islands Amusement Park, Chaguaramas. Over three hundred (300) directors, managers, coordinators, staff members and associates were invited to the event. The mood was festive and jolly, a true sign of the Christmas spirit.

The Master of Ceremonies for the Night was the exquisite Mrs. Justine Aboud-Chamely who with her charisma and charm kept the crowd well-informed throughout the formal activities. She also kept the ‘vibe’ alive during the party segment, which everyone enjoyed thoroughly.

When Amalgamated Security’s Executive Chairman Dr. Michael Aboud (Hon.) addressed the gathering, he spoke about the importance of team work and the fulfillment of the aims, objectives and goals for Amalgamated Security for 2023 and onwards. He then thanked management and staff for the contributions made to the continued success of ASSL. The activities of the evening culminated in the awards for outstanding employees.

Amalgamated Security Services Hosted Its 17th Annual Children's Christmas Party

Hundreds of ASSL staff members’ children and three (3) children homes converged at Amalgamated Security’s Corporate Headquarters in Macoya, Tunapuna for an evening of fun and entertainment. The children were kept busy all afternoon with games, rides such as Chair Plane, and a full sized Choo Choo Train and other activities. They also enjoyed a variety of snacks and drinks. As the evening came to a close, Santa Clause emerged with treats for the children. After happily welcoming him, each child received a gift from Santa. They were treated with party bags and other goodies. The event brought together staff to celebrate the joy of the season and most of all it placed a smile on each child's face.
