D3acons 2024
The D3acons 2024 was nothing short of spectacular! As tradition dictates, we took a break from our busy schedules and headed to the breathtaking Kauri Bay Boomrock in Clevedon. The winter day was stunning, setting the perfect backdrop for our annual event.
The day kicked off with an insightful update on our business, focusing on our financial performance and the exciting plans for FY25. It was a great opportunity to reflect on our achievements and chart the course for the year ahead.
Post-lunch, the real fun began! We tested our skills in clay bird shooting, hit golf balls into the horizon, and tried our hand at archery. The friendly competition and the picturesque scenery made it an afternoon to remember.
As the sun began to set, we gathered for a shared dinner featuring a mouth-watering spread of lamb and veggies, and a few bottles of wine! It was a perfect way to refuel and reconnect with colleagues.
The highlight of the evening was, of course, the D3acons Awards. These are the only awards we give out, making them even more special. Here are the deserving winners who shone brightly this year:
