We celebrated over 45 of our employees at our Long Service Awards, recognising their dedication of 10 to 54 years of outstanding service. This annual event serves as a heartfelt expression of Angostura’s deep appreciation for the loyalty and commitment of employees who have worked diligently to build and sustain the legacy of the company for over two centuries. Employees who are with the company for 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years were honoured for their valuable contributions over the years.

At Angostura®, our employees are the true spirit behind our success. Their dedication drives our operations and preserves the traditions, craftsmanship, and values that make our brands world-renowned. Every milestone achieved reflects their perseverance, teamwork, and unwavering pride in their work.

This year, we had the privilege of paying tribute to Mr. Lennard Lewis, for an extraordinary 54 years of service. Mr. Lewis began his journey with Angostura since 1971, moving from Security to General Work before discovering his passion for the art of Cooperage in 1977. Over the years, he has become a master craftsman, a mentor, and a storyteller, sharing his skills and enthusiasm through multiple training cycles and delighting visitors with his warm personality and rich tales of the company’s history. Mr. Lewis’ remarkable journey exemplifies the dedication and heart that define Angostura®. His craftsmanship, mentorship, and spirit have shaped not just barrels, but the very soul of our organisation.

To all our long-serving employees, we extend our sincerest gratitude for your loyalty and devotion. Your contributions continue to inspire and embody our proud PRIME values – Passion, Respect, Innovation, Mutual Trust and Excellence.

Congratulations to all our awardees and a special salute to Mr. Lennard Lewis, a true Angostura® legend!
