SUMMER EVENT FOR THE CARDET TEAM

2020 has been a busy year for CARDET. Working tirelessly on a record-high number of projects as well as submitting an exceptional number of new proposals meant that we had serious cause for celebration! Factoring in all of this that we had to deal with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, called for some quality team downtime. When the lockdown measures finally eased off at the beginning of the summer, we organised a fun day out, in the form of a beach party, dedicated to all our hard-working staff. On Friday 3rd July, all members of our team took a few hours off to take part in energising and fun, teambuilding activities before enjoying some fish meze at the Governor’s beach in Limassol.
