We held three fantastic annual dinners in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The events were made all the more special as this year marks the Group’s 130th anniversary, as well as the 70th anniversary of our partnership with Porsche.
CEO Alfons Mensdorff expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the hard work and dedication of our staff over the past year. He said, “Despite the challenges we faced, we successfully navigated our way through 2024. Your hard work, dedication and passion for the Group are what makes us stronger during these ever-challenging years.”
In his opening speech, Chairman Mr Hans Michael Jebsen highlighted Jebsen Group’s legacy and reflected on our origins in shipping. He said, “The great symbol of ships inspires our corporate spirit. Whether sailing through good or bad weather, everyone is always essential to the team.”
One of the event highlights was the Long Service Awards presentation. These awards recognize colleagues who have been with us for 5, 10, 15, 20 or more years. This year, there were a total of 205 awardees – with 8 among them having worked at Jebsen Group for over 30 years. We congratulate and thank them for their commitment and contributions!
A particularly special moment during the Hong Kong annual dinner was a performance of the song “We Are the Champions” by some of the Senior Management Team and other colleagues. Together, they brought the atmosphere to a crescendo with their amazing performance!
