Spirit Week
For Spirit Week, we had the office buzzing with creativity and a whole lot of themed outfits. We paired everyone into dynamic duos, and each day brought a new and wonderfully wacky dress-up challenge. Monday kicked things off with ultimate comfort as it was Pajama Day. Tuesday brought out our inner wordsmiths for Rhyme Without Reason Day. Wednesday was Famous Marcus/Evans Day, and teams channelled their inner celebrities who had Marcus or Evans in their name. Thursday celebrated iconic partnerships with Dynamic Duo Day, featuring everything from superheroes to beloved fictional pairs. Finally, Friday saw an outpouring of team pride for Football Theme Day, with jerseys and wordplays galore! In the end, the reigning champions with the most points were Joe Blazen and Claudine Jordaan! Beyond the costumes and the friendly competition, partnering up encouraged colleagues who might not typically work closely together to collaborate and brainstorm.
Superbowl Potluck
On the Friday of Superbowl Weekend, the office transformed into a fantastic tailgate party for our annual Super Bowl potluck! The air was buzzing with anticipation for the game, but equally exciting was the incredible spread of food brought in by everyone. From savory dips to sweet treats, it was a true feast that showcased the culinary talents and generous spirits of our team.
Employee Appreciation Day
For Employee Appreciation Day, we had a delicious breakfast spread in the office.
Bowling
This quarter, we had access to the Pinstripes bowling alley, and we used this opportunity for friendly competition and team building. Beyond the thrill of knocking down pins (or the comedic relief of an errant roll), our bowling outings provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues outside of our usual work environment. We cheered each other on, offered tips, and shared plenty of laughs. It was a refreshing change of pace that allowed us to see different sides of our teammates and foster a greater sense of camaraderie.
New York
For our team building, we headed to Electric Shuffle for some friendly competition and great vibes!
Barbados
Valentines Day Brunch
The office celebrated Valentine’s Day with a delectable Bajan breakfast! We bonded over bacon, and shared smiles at the donut station. It was a morning break away from the usual, full of easy conversations and a feeling of connection to the people we spend so much of our week with.
Easter Sip & Paint
We transformed the office into an art studio, where everyone had the opportunity to tap into their creative side, with the aid of video guides, brought Easter to life on canvas, lots of laughter... and of course, lots of sips...
Mumbai
The quarterly party was a memorable event, offering an excellent opportunity for team bonding and celebration of our collective successes. We look forward to many more such occasions.
Islamabad
Iftar mode: Activated! Ready to break the fast and enjoy the office feast.
Karachi
Staff gathered for the official Iftar dinner to observe the spirit of Ramadan — an evening of reflection, unity, and shared values.
Hyderabad
This quarter, our Global L&Q team made the most of being together! During Aneesa David’s visit (our L&Q Specialist supporting Global ADE and Curations), we combined our quarterly team building event with a fun-filled day at a resort in Hyderabad, filled with laughter, bonding, and great memories. We also explored the newly opened Nilofer restaurant — already a viral sensation in Hyderabad — right in our office building. Earlier in the quarter, we enjoyed some friendly competition at a local gaming zone. Check out all the fun moments captured in the photos!
Kuala Lumpur
Moments that Matter: Ramadhan Staff Dinner
This Ramadhan, we paused to connect, appreciate, and celebrate one another. The departmental gathering was a meaningful evening filled with joy, togetherness, and heartfelt conversations.
Sydney
Conference team lunch at Flavours of Japan.
Tokyo
Teamwork makes the sake work! The Tokyo team toured a sake brewery, taste-tested like pros, then turned into BBQ masters. So much meat, so many laughs, and memories we “might” actually remember.
Cape Town Office Team Building
The Cape Town team recently enjoyed an action-packed quarterly function at Total Ninja! It was a fantastic day filled with laughter, team bonding, and plenty of physical activity. The obstacle courses brought out everyone's inner ninja, making it a fun and energetic way to wrap up the quarter.
London
London Valentines
On February 14th, the London Office was visited by Cupid – who spread a little love in the form of some heart themed (and shaped!) sweet treats waiting for everyone on their desk when they arrived!
London Employee Appreciation & IWD
Falling on consecutive days this year, the London Office combined our Employee Appreciation & International Women’s Day celebrations. We opted for Employee Appreciation Day, given the unseasonably warm weather, to turn reception into an Ice Cream Cart! Letting staff choose from a wide selection of decadent Häagen-Dazs tasting pots, or tangy Remeo sorbets lollies – unsurprisingly, these went down a treat!
With a captive audience coming to retrieve their ice cream, we made the most of the opportunity providing the voting link for International Women’s Day at the end of the station.
London Easter
In celebration of Easter here in London, we got creative, designing our own mugs. Using specialised porcelain paint pens, staff were invited in small groups to come and get artsy, from vibrant fruity & floral themed designs to pastel spring scenes and bold slogans, the initiative certainly got us all thinking outside the box (well… mug!). Of course, it wouldn’t have been Easter without something sweet – and these super cute bunny boxes contained a mix of tasty treats for all to enjoy!
Cyprus
The Cyprus office organised Secret Office Pal for Valentine’s Day.
