A modest ceremony marked by recognition.

In his remarks on the occasion, Mr. Raoul Gufflet, Group CEO of SBM Holdings Ltd, stated, “This celebration is not only a milestone for SBM but also an acknowledgement of the individuals who, day after day, have contributed to our success. It is essential for us to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the dedication and passion of our long-serving employees. Without them, we would not be where we are today. These awards reflect employee loyalty and the corporate culture that values and acknowledges the efforts and contributions of every team member.”
On his part, Mr. Sanjaiye Rawoteea, Acting CEO of SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd, emphasized the values such as dedication and commitment that have always characterized the Bank’s employees since its inception. “As an integral part of this great family, I am deeply touched by our employees’ dedication and determination.
