“Every year we hold FCWAMCO Games for all our staff to participate and to create a healthy working environment. It’s not about work, work, work, but it also about keeping fit. So, I would say the objectives of the games have been fully realised – participation, excitement, fun, motivation. And I must say all that has reflected in terms of how we work as a team and in our results,” he said.
