Thursday 28th November is officially the start of Christmas at STR Group. We welcomed the festive season by adorning our offices with multiple trees and some magnificent decorations, before an early finish to get glammed up for the legendary STR Group Christmas party!
Christmas tree decorating competition
Of course, it wouldn’t be STR if there wasn’t an element of competition involved. Lunchtime saw us all tinsle-up our Brand trees in an attempt to win the annual ‘Best-dressed Tree Competition’. Judged by our Group Director of Operations, Darren Pannell, and ratified by Founder and Executive Director Clive Hutchings (we take this stuff seriously), the consensus was that, “The quality of Christmas tree decoration skills on display this year was incredible!”
Clive stated: “The winning team created an ambiance that was unrivalled, it was almost as if Father Christmas himself had been there! Congratulations Insignis – the whole team receives lunch on us.”
STR's Christmas party
With the clock ticking down to our early finish, the excitement was building for our glitzy gathering later at Southampton’s Harbour Hotel. Welcomed with some bubbles, everyone had dressed themselves with almost as much dedication and sparkle as their Christmas trees! A 2-course dinner, drinks and sweet trolley followed, with many dancing well into the night, safe in the knowledge that the company is good/wise enough to grant us what is affectionately known as our ‘detox day’ on the Friday!
