Dear GCCS family and friends,

I would like to extend warm gree ngs to all of you out there in this fes ve and jolly season. 2012 was a year full of many achievements and successes so congratula ons to all of us. While we faced many tough challenges in our construc on and opera ons around the globe, we did not give up! On the contrary we worked harder, relentless and united to overcome all difficul es and provide the best services to our customers. We emerged victorious at the end. The true GCCS Spirit!

In 2012, we entered two new markets: Libya & Uganda. We exited Papua New Guinea and expanded our opera ons in Iraq, Australia, UAE (with DGS France) and Indonesia. We have achieved more than 100% growth in revenues over last year surpassing the $200m mark! We a ained this organically through renewing and winning more contracts, larger contracts and by providing more services to exis ng customers. We have also achieved a healthy posi ve bo om line close to budget. Well Done!

This places higher expecta ons from all of us for 2013. It is going to be a tough one economically and poli cally. It is not an issue of working harder because we all work hard. But we need to work “smarter” and “be er”. We all need to be aware of how our words, ac ons and work affect the enterprise as a whole. It is not just about me, you or anyone else. It is about all of us, as we are all one team at the end regardless of which department or country we are part of. Each and all of our contribu ons ma er. We are all ambassadors of the GCCS group of companies.

When I look at my personal goals I put for 2012, which I shared with you last year, I did improve on my fitness level but s ll have a long way to go to reach where I would like to be. I s ll owe my family “more of me” so I have to be smarter at work. My theme for 2013 will be cost savings on a personal and professional level! We all have to be more cost efficient and conscious in order to translate the revenue growth into be er margins.

We can’t look back, we learn from the past and the mistakes but the only way is up! I wish you and all your loved ones a prosperous 2013, full of success, luck, good health and wealth.

Fondly,

Rashad Sinokrot

CORPORATE NEWSCORPORATE NEWSCORPORATE NEWS

On 4 October 2012, GCC SERVICES started making a difference in the community where it is based by launching the GCC SERVICES Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program through its first two initiatives, i.e. the “Remember and Give Project” & the “HELP fund”.

The launch was planned in conjunction with that week’s HR Training and Development Module that teaches the responsibility all GCCS employees have towards CSR as part of the GCCS Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. Accordingly, as a company, GCCS is committed to creating opportunities for employees and the company alike to give back to the community in ways that go above and beyond commercial obligations and our day-to-day obligations alone, its part of all of our duty of being good GCCS citizens.

Though CSR is a global GCCS HR function, it was started on a small scale in Kuwait only, with the aim of growing and developing through time, to allow for natural planting of this function in other GCCS operational countries, this is aimed at allowing the function to evolve and mature at a pace GCCS can sustain hand-in-hand with the company’s daily Operational responsibilities, and at the same time, leveraging the experience and reach of the very well established Agility enterprise CSR program who have benefited thousands around the globe over the past few years.

By: Nico D. Smit - Director of Human Resources and Administration, GCCS Kuwait

HELP Fund

Sadly the GCC SERVICES family in Kuwait faced several bereavements and tragedies during the latter part of 2012, and as such the idea for initiating the “HELP fund” was born. Though the fund runs under GCCS CSR program it is a fund aimed at benefitting fellow staff members facing family tragedy or bereavement or whom just have a great need, and as such, contributions to the fund is made by fellow staff members on a voluntary basis only and not by GCCS. Donations to the fund can be made by depositing amounts anonymously into the collection fund boxes set-up in the office.

The main objective of the fund is to assist any one of our fellow staff members’ in need, when they may be facing a loss, serious illness or a tragedy and thus requires HELP! Through the fund we can provide help to our colleagues without anyone feeling forced to contribute when the proverbial ‘brown envelope’ is sent around the office or even contributing outside of our means and thus possibly placing ourselves in debt by trying to do the right thing by others.

It is early days yet, our collections thus far have resulted in under KD50 only being collected to date, we keep the faith that more fellow staff members will become regular donators to allow us to assist our colleagues in need when they need it most.

On 12 November 2012 INJAZ Kuwait, the Kuwait-chapter of the global youth empowerment NGO Junior Achievement, held an Innovation Camp, “i-Camp” for high school students, in collaboration with Agility, GCC SERVICES (GCCS) and National Aviation Services (NAS) at Agility 18k premises in Kuwait. The “i-camp”, is a day-long workshop that places students in an environment that encourages them to think critically and analytically to solve a business case as a team. Each team is headed by a business executive from different companies. A total of 87 students from the British School of Kuwait, Indian Central School and Kuwait National English School where mixed and then divided into 9 teams who took part in the eight-hour workshop. Volunteers from Agility, GCCS and NAS coming with significant qualifications and experience in business, guided the students as they tried to come up with a solution to the business challenge presented to them following skills training in the earlier part of the workshop. At the end of the workshop, students were required to present their solutions to an eminent panel of judges made-up of senior executives of the Agility enterprise. Each solution was carefully evaluated by the judges based on how innovative their business plan is.

The team mentored by Nico D. Smit, GCCS, where loudly applauded when awarded the overall 2nd place on the day for their suggestion of a social media related solution to the Agility enterprise challenge and later getting a special mention by judge Toby Switzer for best team spirit on the day. With these projects, and many more to come, GCCS will be offering employees a number of avenues to participate in voluntary community initiatives. We believe that getting involved helps grow our company, our local communities, and our future. Accordingly we are encouraging our GCCS employees to send their suggestions/ideas on any activities that GCCS can participate in community service to CSR@gccservices.com. Details of upcoming GCCS CSR activities will be shared via email and in GCCS Bites issues, those who want to find out more or get more involved in volunteering, drop an email on the above email address. Be involved and make it happen!

Remember and Give Project An initial voluntary campaign aimed at helping the needy people in Kuwait regardless of nationality, age, sex, or religion during the harsh winter season. Accordingly the drive collected canned goods and food items, warm clothing, blan-kets, shoes, and other miscellaneous items. Participants could make their donations anonymously by dropping it into either of the tailor made drop boxes set-up in the office. The campaign ran until the beginning of December, after which all items was separated, recorded, folded and repacked. On 13 December 2012 it was the pleasure of GCC SERVICES to handover the boxed items to the Kuwait branch of The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army was represented by the Country heads, Major Heather Grinsted and Major Stewart Grinsted.

GCC SERVICES donated a 170kg of collected

items, i.e. –

90 kg Men’s clothing, shoes and socks

30 kg Women’s clothing, shoes and socks

10 kg Children’s clothing

10 kg Blankets

30 kg Dried & tinned food items

Who can ever miss the special celebra on of Christmas before the end of every year? The gi s wrap in fancy shiny wrappers, Christmas lights all around the corner, and the jolly Christmas songs playing everywhere. And who else is more excited than the kid who wants to open their Christmas presents from their Santa Claus.

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas and simply "Santa", is a figure with legendary, mythical, historical and folkloric origins who, in many western cultures, is said to bring gi s to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24.

Millions of children around the world are familiar with plump and jolly Santa Claus, much loved of North America, with his red suit, black boots and twinkling eyes. He arrives Christmas Eve bearing gi s from the North Pole in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. Other countries have their own na ve gi bearers of the holiday season as well.

Christmas Customs

Christmas around the world: In Italy, children receive gi s from the good witch La Befana, old, bent and dressed in black. La Befana was a widowed, childless woman when the Three Kings passed on their way to see the Christ child. When they asked her the way to Bethlehem she was busy cleaning and sent them away. Realizing her mistake, she le to search for the Baby Jesus. To this day she is s ll searching going from house to house on Epiphany, January 6, leaving a gi for good children.

Russian children await gi s from Babouska, a farmer’s wife who offered food and shelter to the Three Wise men on their journey to Bethlehem, Baboushka declined their offer of travelling with them to visit the Christ child. Realizing her error on the eve of Epiphany, she tried unsuccessfully to find them, but handed the presents she had intended for the infant Jesus to children she passed along the way.

In Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico and South America, the Three Kings or Wise Men bring Christmas gi s to children, while in France children eagerly await the coming of Father Christmas or Pere Noel who brings their gi s.

In some cultures, Saint Nicholas travels with an assistant. The old bishop Sinterklass arrives in Holland on December 6 in his red bishop’s costume astride a white horse. In many port towns, he is said to have sailed in on a ship from Spain. Beside him walks Black Peter with a black sack and a book recording each Dutch child’s behavior through the year. Good children receive a gi from the bishop while bad children may be carried away in Black Peter’s sack.

In Germany Saint Nicholas also travels with a helper, known as Knecht Ruprecht, Krampus, or Pelzebock, and comes with a sack on his back and a rod or switches in his hand. Saint Nicholas gives gi s to good children, while those who have been bad are punished by the assistant with a few hits of a switch.

Swedish children wait for the gnome Jultomten, also called Julemanden or Julenisse, who dresses in red and carries a sack of gi s on his back. He flies in his sleigh pulled by the Julbocker, the goats of Thor, the god of thunder. Elves, called the Juul Nisse, hide in the a cs of families throughout the year, eagerly wai ng to help him. Children leave bowls of milk or rice pudding in the a c for the elves, hoping they will be empty in the morning.

In Austria and Switzerland it is Christkindl or the Christ Child who arrives bearing gi s. In some towns children await the Holy Child and in others Christkindl is a beau ful girl-angel who comes down from heaven bearing gi s.

And in England a thinner version of Santa Claus known as Father Christmas, wearing long red robes with sprigs of holly in his hair, delivers gi s to children.

By: Maud Monteau, Branch Manager at Abu Dhabi - Agility DGS France

As Branch Manager in Abu Dhabi, I have the chance to be responsible for a very diverse agenda. Indeed, my responsibility lies in the right follow up of the ongoing contracts that we are running for the French army ensuring that all services provided comply with our contracts, standards and that the invoicing process is correct. Following with care the customer rela onship to be sure that we understand well their needs and their future expecta ons is a must and will, at best, allow us to foresee some new services and contracts to offer them so as to extend ac vi es. Doing this, we have been consulted for the transport of the equipment of the French forces retrograding from Afghanistan.

Besides this, the perfect comple on of our running contracts relies on our partner and it is part of my role to keep up links with them and bring them support when needed (ge ng access to the base, or repara on to be done on some infrastructures…). Renewals of the contracts are under my responsibility and become an everyday goal trying to sa sfy our customers’ requests at best. However, our Branch office also aims at expanding and being known by new poten al customers. To do so, I have been ge ng involved in most business events in Abu Dhabi related to our scope of work and the French business community to find new opportuni es and get invited to bid on new tenders. Ge ng to know the right interlocutor and organize company presenta on mee ngs are the first steps that I am handling to launch this expansion. Abu Dhabi is a fast growing market that mo vates us with great upcoming opportuni es and I am thankful for being part of the team that makes it happen.

O en we talk about removing 'bad' foods from our diets and restric ng what we eat. Well instead of forcing yourself into a state of depriva on, try a different approach for 2013. Try adding in a handful of healthy foods that are nutrient dense. Foods that feed your body what it craves: vitamins, enzymes, fiber, minerals - and flavor. Check through for 10 healthy foods to try this year!

1. Green Smoothies Green smoothies may look grassy green, but they taste sweet and sassy with a blend of fruit and veggies. Packed with nutrients, fiber and flavor, this sweet, green sip is one to try in 2013. 2. Chard Step aside kale! There is a new leafy green on the block that is just as diverse in prepara on and rich in nutrients. Chard salads should be on your healthy ea ng menu this year. 3. Matcha If you love green tea or hot beverages or la es, give matcha a try. It may be a bit expensive, but matcha is rich in green tea an oxidants and provides a unique energizing boost to your day. 4. Lemon Water This wellness ritual is a favorite of many and it is quite simple. All you need is lemon and water. Yup, that is it! Start your day by drinking a mug of warm water and lemon juice and you may love the way it makes your body feel! 5. Exo c Grains If you are s ll onlu enjoying oats and wheat as your whole grains of choice, take a culinary dive into a few more exo c and healthy grains. Try buckwheat, amaranth and farro.

6. Walnuts Walnuts are a good source of omega-3 fa y acids and rich in healthy fats, minerals and more. Nuts help sa sfy a hungry appe te as a healthy, portable snack. 7. Virgin Coconut Oil Virgin coconut oil is finally making its way on mainstream store shelves as a diverse, delicious and even healthy op on for oil. Its unique proper es make it useful in a wide variety of recipes, from vegan fudge to homemade chocolate bars and even coconut oil popped popcorn. 8. Tempeh Tempeh is a fermented soy and less processed than tofu. It has a unique flavor that tastes delicious infused with smoky, sweet and cheesy flavors. Give tempeh a try in 2013 and it just may be your favorite vegan protein source too! 9. Quinoa Quinoa is a versa le ingredient to use in salads, breakfast cereal, side dishes, wraps and more. Rich in protein with a fluffy nu y flavor. 10. Chia Seeds Chia seeds may look a li le weird, but you'll be surprised by what they can do! These ny li le seeds are rich in nutrients, fiber and can create a super cool pudding for breakfast or dessert. Kids will love to watch chia seeds in ac on.

GCC SERVICES work for our main client, Tullow Oil, includes a number of opera ons “up country” - as the Ugandans like to call it - in the Lake Albert area. This area is a 4-6 hour drive from the country’s capital of Kampala and GCC SERVICES’ regional office depending on the loca on in Lake Albert.

GCCS Uganda main opera ons in Lake Albert are in the towns of Buliisa and Kisinja where we have 39 and 42 staff respec vely. Our work includes all types of maintenance (electrical, plumbing, electro-mechanical, carpentry, and generators) as well as grounds keeping.

In Kisinja, a typical day for our GCC SERVICES Uganda team can include repairing air condi oners, fixing a generator, installing perimeter security ligh ng and cu ng & disposal of contaminated tanks.

11

In Buliisa, we recently installed solar panels to accommoda on containers. The client is extremely pleased with GCCS as our staff are not only well trained but strictly adhere to all procedures such as working at heights.

GCC SERVICES Uganda has gained an excellent reputa on with our client of being me culous in our work, bringing all jobs to comple on and going above and beyond the call of duty.

We see ourselves as a partner, rather than “just” a contractor to our clients. We work very closely together and o en advise our client on solu ons to their problems and even propose more cost effec ve solu ons for them.

Showcasing products and services in exhibi ons is a historical endeavor. The current world is no different …….

Abu Dhabi has always been a pioneer in organizing exhibi ons and ADNEC has provided great support to exhibit various walks of businesses.

Abu Dhabi Interna onal Petroleum Exhibi on and Conference (ADIPEC), has created much awareness in the world of Petroleum and all the businesses related to Oil fields and its suppliers. Since 1984, ADIPEC has grown from a mere conference to the largest O&G event in the Middle East and now stands as the 2nd largest event outside North America.

Emdad Gulf Catering Logis c took the responsibility of hospitality and catering. Throughout the 4 Day-exhibi on, the visitors were greeted with tea/coffee and snacks. Our Chefs produced mouth watering snacks, sandwiches and mini pizzas that were consumed with pleasure. A chocolate fountain added to the ambiance of the stall and was the icing on the cake, the sight of the fresh strawberries set against a torrent of decadent mel ng chocolate cascading down the levels…. which not a single visitor could resist…..

It was a great opportunity for our company to exhibit its name, products and services amongst more than 1,600 company's and over 50,000 visitors. The teamwork from the management and the opera ons made it a truly successful event.

Emdad had its exhibi on stand area in a very prominent place in ADIPEC 2012, where all the companies of Emdad and its Joint Ventures had their stalls to exhibit their products and services.

We must recognize that the French forces have become so accustomed to knowing the GCCS family for catering and hostelling services on the Abu Dhabi naval base, have now been strongly and happily surprised, yet again, by the mul ple capabili es of the larger Agility group of companies. Agility DGS France had been awarded a special transporta on contract for the logis c services of transporta on rela ng to the French retrograde from Afghanistan.

This success is a great reference for the Agility group and it is linked to:

• The great works of Maud, our Branch Manager in Abu Dhabi who, in conjunc on with EGCL, to leverage the sa sfac on we provide the French Forces at the Abu Dhabi French Naval Base

• A big team with different backgrounds works

• The advantage of complementary skills inside Agility group:

♦ Global Integrated Logis cs (GIL) branch, very present and powerful in Abu Dhabi

♦ Na onal Avia on Services (NAS), specialized in aircra assistance services

♦ Agility DGS France which, due to its proximity with the clients, takes care to underline Agility’s differen a ng factors, enabling it to make it happen.

In the event that the very big works to deliver cover the first 12 to 18 months of the contract, then the total dura on of the contract will be 5 years. From a financial point of view, it has neither a minimum nor maximum value, reason being the quality of the services we have to provide could greatly influence the decision(s) that are yet to be made concerning the preferred retrograde solu on of all the French equipment from Afghanistan. The French Forces are far from being the largest presence in Afghanistan, however, it should be pointed out here that the French Forces were the first to engage in the opera ons in Afghanistan and as such a lot of material had been transported there over a lengthy period of me.

By: Benoit Guillermit , Director General - GCCS DGS France

Accordingly, it is planned to start opera ons with an average of twenty-four Antonov 124 flights per month. This type of aircra allows the carriage of a load up to 120 Tons per flight but above all allows armored vehicles and marine containers to be loaded and shipped. The plan also provides the rou ng of more than 20,000 passengers during the 2013 to be welcomed and supported. NAS will do it, for sure. Finally, other opera ons such as the recep on of parcels from France for the purposes of the French sta oned forces both in Abu Dhabi and in Afghanistan, the loading of ship chartered by the French Ministry of Defense and the support of crews of military aircra transi ng through Abu Dhabi are included in this contract too. However, the strength of this agreement translated the French disengagement in Afghanistan where Agility DGS France operates with Pinnacle Hotel Services (PHS) a contract for the global management of a French camp in Wardak, which ends at the end of the first quarter of 2013. The extent of the work done to achieve this result would at minimum have taught us a lot in order to prepare for the renewal of current 2013 contracts rela ng to the French Naval Base at Abu Dhabi…. that should be win!

GCCS INDONESIA is going to face 2 big challenges very shortly.

Beef is slowly disappearing from the market a er the Government has reduced dras cally importa on from Australia. The Agriculture Minister said that Indonesia should not rely any more on imports and distribute local beef which is of a lesser quality and insufficient so far, hence depressing the market.

As a consequence, prices have shot up two mes and surely more in the future and quality is going down!

♦ GCCS Indonesia has to review projec on if no changes in the near future or serve fish and chicken only to our client.

♦ Minimum wages for the first me in history of the country are going to increase by a minimum of 44% by January 2013. This is a big first and is surely going to give us a big head ache!

♦ The good news side, our new 2 year coal mining project with the interna onal group “ Mercuria Energy Services” has started on 01st December 2012 and we are serving 120 workers in the Southern part of Borneo.

Beef Shortage Looms for Jakarta

A beef seller reads a newspaper at a stall in Kosambi market, in Bandung in this Nov. 20 file photo. Indonesia is suffering from a beef shortage amid rising prices. Jakarta is expected to face a beef crisis over the Christmas holiday as a new government policy limi ng beef imports has reduced stocks in the capital.

Beef consump on in December is predicted to exceed 120 tons, the figure recorded in November, but so far Jakarta has only managed to secure 60 tons for the rest of the year, provincially owned aba oir firm Dharma Jaya said on Monday.

Consump on in the capital has con nued to rise, even as the central government slashed 2012 ca le and beef import quotas by as much as 62 percent to s mulate domes c beef produc on and help reach an ambi ous 2014 self-sufficiency target.

Dharma Jaya president director Andika Kusuma said the situa on was exacerbated by suppliers from East Java and West Nusa Tenggara who preferred to send beef and ca le to Kalimantan and Bali, ci ng lower delivery costs.

“I wouldn’t dare say we have a cri cal beef stock, but, well, that’s the situa on,” Andika said, according to Indonesian news portal kompas.com.

Beef prices currently stand at almost Rp 100,000 ($10.40) per kilogram, from between Rp 70,000 and Rp 80,000 about a month ago. Beef vendors across Jakarta joined a strike on Nov. 17 in protest over the soaring prices, saying they suffered up to Rp 500,000 in losses per day due to price hikes. Beef shortages have also been reported in other regions across the country.

Against all the odds, Governor Joko Widodo approved a 44 percent increase Jakarta’s minimum wage to Rp 2.2 million ($228) a month, the highest rise among 14 other provinces that had done likewise following a spate of protests by laborers demanding greater pay to improve their livelihood. Although Indonesia is known as a resource-rich country, the standard welfare of millions of its laborers is ques onable because most of them are lowly paid. This, perhaps, explains why Joko took a bold decision to sign the wage-hike decree. While his undertaking was lauded by workers, it disheartened employers who consider the wage increase as too high and say it could force companies to lay off employees to cut opera onal costs so that their ventures can survive. “The government forgets that by making a populist decision, employers will suffer losses. The consequences? The employers will massively cut back employment,” commented So an Wanandi, the general chairman of the Indonesian Employers’ Associa on (Apindo). Similar grievances were also aired by a number of businesspeople, industrialists and economic analysts. Their apprehension was not without ground because the high costs could badly affect their compe ve advantage and greater purchasing power of workers would push up infla on. Now that the die has been cast, some believe that the labor issue should be se led with a win-win solu on, a cliché that realists consider as just wishful thinking. In real life, it is “take and give” dealing, a concrete reciprocity once suggested by James “Jimmy” Hoffa, a leading US labor union president in the 1960s. But how much should employers give and workers take? It does not take a genius to do a basic cost-of-living calcula on

The Thinker: Win or Lose in Jakarta and surrounding areas. If a worker has a wife and one child and each spends Rp 10,000 a day for one meal and assuming they eat three mes a day and the child has free educa on, the worker’s monthly expense amounts to 3 x Rp 10,000 x 3 x 30 = Rp 2,700,000, excluding transporta on fares and expenditure on u li es. Hence the workers’ previous demand for a monthly wage of Rp 2.79 million was in fact reasonable, considering that even salaries of maids in Jakarta range between Rp 600,000 and Rp 1.5 million. Joko’s decision was prudent and humane. His pro-“li le people” policy while s ll a mayor of the Central Java city of Solo, was widely praised both at home and abroad. As the cost of living in the capital city is higher than that of other provinces, let alone in small towns across the na on, laborers in the regions should be aware of this fact and should not expect a pay raise as great as their fellow workers in Jakarta. All this should be transparently informed to workers na onwide so as not to provoke jealousy. The informa on should be given by government officials and union leaders must encourage their members to con nually improve their working skills and produc vity, commensurate with their wage rise. Equally important is that labor unions should not allow, much less encourage, their members to undertake anarchic ac ons like damaging facili es in an industrial compound or forcing workers who do not wish to join the protests to take part in a demonstra on. Such ac ons are against the law and violate the right of an individual. Otherwise, the public would consider unions as no more than just gangs of troublemakers who might be poli cally exploited to in midate innocent people and disrupt governmental programs. The government has the duty to protect workers, the driving force of growth as well as business, the mechanism that turns the wheel of the economy. These two elements of development need to work together, especially when the country’s leadership has commi ed to making Indonesia one of Asia’s leading economies in the next decades.

As one of the fore runners in the food service industry in Libya, ALZAD has ini ated its first Food Safety mee ng that was held October 31, 2012 which was a ended by team leaders from various loca ons in Tripoli Opera on to update and upgrade its exis ng HACCP procedure in line with an up-coming ISO audit in 2013. Training was conducted by Tarsi Basin from Innova ve Indicator Management Consultant (IMC). The mee ng was held with a focus on establishing ALZAD Food Safety team and to review the exis ng ALZAD HACCP procedures and also serves as an introduc on to the HACCP new comers as a pre-requisite to ALZAD ISO 9001 re-cer fica on. Among the a endees were site supervisors, an execu ve chef and representa ve from various opera on sites. For the dura on of the mee ng Eman Jamal Ibrahim Abusal was appointed as Food Safety Team Leader. With her comes creden als such as experience in quality control for food and non-food products and extensive training and cer fica on in the field of quality and food safety management. This is the first ini a ve to re-check and further improve, the exis ng HACCP standard on the opera onal side to meet the con nuous demand of quality excellence and to make sure that ALZAD meet the needs of customers and other stakeholders while mee ng statutory and regulatory requirements for the food catering industry.

With all these ongoing projects for Libya Opera on, a hec c and fast paced opera on is evident, running such opera on is truly a tough job especially if the key departments are all sca ered around various loca ons in Tripoli.

At present, Tripoli opera on has several offices situated in separate loca ons such as the Finance and HR & Admin office in Hay Andalus - Gargaresh, Main Head office and Central Kitchen in Abuse a, and lastly the Central Warehouse in the outskirts of Abuse a.

Undeniably, a set up like this adds an unwelcome hurdle that the opera on encounters on a daily basis, but ALZAD team need not worry anymore as the construc on of a new office infrastructure is midway to comple on.

With the upcoming office structure all key departments such as the main kitchen, opera on, HR & Admin, as well as the Finance department will be situated in one area. Also this infrastructure would serve as staff accommoda on as well as a transit guest house for remote site opera on staff.

Hopefully this department and office consolida on in one main office would help speed up and increase efficiency in the inter transac on of the various departments and to further strengthen the camaraderie amongst exis ng ALZAD employees.

Day 1: On Sunday 2nd September I flew via Rex to Coober Pedy to have the opportunity to visit and work with the PK crew for a few days. The aircra was quite small and the flight over was approximately two hours, in which I was unsure of what to expect upon arrival. I changed into my work uniform in prepara on to be in the kitchen and completed my ACS Site Induc on. I had the pleasure of having my first camp meal. I was very impressed and could have had more than one serving however I showed some self control.

I then began suppor ng the team in the kitchen over the dinner service period. Danni, Sean, Benne and Lyn were all very welcoming and showed me how things needed to be done. I was ready to get my hands dirty… due to the dishwasher being out of service, my main task was to keep the dishes clean and available for the residents during the dinner service.

Although only in the kitchen for 3.5 hours, my apprecia on of the efficiency and hard work of the ACS team was great.

Everybody was consistently working hard to get the job done. I par cularly recall the jovial and pleasant rela onship the team had with the residents.

Day 2: The rest of the day was then spent on stripping and cleaning rooms. Although my bed making skills had been bedded down on the previous day (thanks to Billy’s teaching skills), I was certainly not as fast at achieving the perfect bed. I was dedicated to stripping beds and cleaning bathrooms.

Cleaning the bathrooms was an ‘experience’ to say the least. The cleanliness of the residents varied from very dy to extremely messy. I threw myself into making those bathrooms sparkle, however not something I want to do in a hurry again.

Our day was interrupted twice due to a dust storm and strong winds. The temperature was in the mid thirty’s and it was hard to see at mes due to the dust. I felt as if I was ge ng a good Coober Pedy climate experience.

Day 3: By the end of day three, my mind and body were very red. I was physically not prepared for the demands of the site roles. I shared my redness with the team and commended them on their consistent ability to do their roles up to three weeks at a me.

In reflec on of my three days, I appreciate the experience and found it invaluable. I will take my learning's and experience forward with me in my day to day dealing with employees and also recruitment of new staff.

The big take away lessons for me were the importance of team work, organiza on and pride in the work we do.

I am missing Benne ’s cakes and want to build into his job descrip on a monthly cake drop off to head office.

Wow! Another year that has just disappeared. ACS Catering & Facili es management has experiences year on year growth ahead of budgets through the perseverance of each individual in the Site and office teams and departments. This year we see the comple on of some Construc on and Civil projects and the opening of some produc on and construc on projects. A big thanks for the efforts of all the site teams and the office crew to complete another successful year in 2012. This year has been fast paced and full of sweat, tears, fun and laughter, we have seen the bolstering of our safety systems, being rolled our currently, Intranet completed for trial, implementa on of a more flexible Accoun ng & payroll system (a er much stress!!), Electronic me sheets and the bulk of works completed on the PCS, Procurement and cos ng system, to men on just a few. We will see the benefit of these systems next year with a streamlining of the site procedures to reduce the manual administra on tasks of management on site and the be er provision of informa on to site teams in rela on to the sites performance overall.

Though we expect to be presented with a more challenging market in 2013 , we again look forward to another exci ng year ahead of us with opportunity’s across the country and in the usual sectors of Civil, Mining, O&G and some new sectors also. With feedback and input from across all departments and sites the vision to make ACS in 2013 an even be er place to work through be er communica on and provision of expecta ons, training and informa on will be realized. I would like to thank all of you, your families and friends that support you and ACS through the fun mes and some mes the not so fun mes at some of the best sites in the country for your work and efforts during 2012. Please stay safe and I trust you have had a great Christmas wherever you enjoyed it! All the Best, Marc Russo & the ACS Team

Glorious Christmas Celebration

Its 0600 in the morning, what’s that I can hear, is it the sound of sleigh bells or is it the light sound of Santa’s reindeer on top of my cabin? I move forward to the window tripping over the many presents that un-expectantly arrived in the night to see that it is raining. And when I say rain, I mean raining at a biblical rate, it is hissing down. Today, all the GCCS staffs - Chef Managers, Cooks and Waiters are busy preparing for the tradi onal Christmas feast for this evening. Si ng around the table are 415 covers, presen ng pre-dinner drinks of sparkling orange juice and lemonade, pre-laid starter of Salmon terrine or Roasted red pepper and tomato soup, then a feast of tradi onal fare of Roast Turkey and Beef Wellington, Christmas pudding and mince pies and many other seasonal delicacies. Prior to any fes vi es beginning, we all have our primary du es to perform as 500 POB and 700 local ROO office workers s ll require lunch and the full life support are to the highest standards that they have come accustomed to. The room boys are delivering small gi s of mince pies and chocolate biscuits to all the rooms and offices, the janitors

are moving furniture in readiness for the func on later this evening. Lunch is complete - let the games begin. And yes, its s ll raining, water is star ng to become an issue. The maintenance team are constantly being requested to come to the client’s aid as equipment in offices and buildings are leaking from the incessant deluge. All tables have to be put into posi on, all serveries have to be moved, then begins the 3 hours of se ng the tables with the candles, banque e rolls, cutlery, party hats and table decora ons. All servery points have to be decorated and the chefs are having to execute their kitchen equipment management skills to get everything cooked and ready for service on me. It’s fast approaching the service me, the rain has stopped suddenly, once again I here the sound of sleigh bells, it’s SANTA! No its not, its Andre Van Der Westhuizen dressed as Santa, the client were pleased to see both again on what has become his annual visit to the ROO/BP. The service has started 400 client ascend onto the DFAC. Alan Cook, Paul Maddox, Andy Fletcher and myself were all wai ng on and collec ng the finished plates and passing them to the most expensive Pot washer in Iraq, our own General Manager, Farazdak. All the courses have been devoured, the sweet counter looks like Santa has rode his sledge over it, but all are content. The client was full of praise for the excellent day and fare that all of GCCS have provided, also the management and staff on how slick the whole day was presented by all. I would personally like to take this opportunity to thank the management and all the staff throughout GCCS and more importantly here at the ROO for not just today which was excep onal, but for the whole year in which everyone has played an enormous role in keeping the professionalism and support to the highest of standards that is expected within the GCCS family.
