First Food Services, exclusive franchisee of Burger King® UAE celebrated the company’s achievements during its annual meeting at the Le Meridien Hotel in Dubai, UAE.
The objective of the meeting was to recognise and reward the success achieved by BURGER KING® in the region in 2005.
During the meeting, awards for best sales and operations achievements for the year 2005 were handed out. Also, the dedication of a number of employees who have reached their 10-year milestone with the company did not go unnoticed by the FFS, with part of the meeting being designated to their recognition. Entertainment had its fair share, witnessing many fun-filled activities aimed at entertaining the hardworking managers.

Once a year we hold our meeting, celebrate our accomplishments and recognise their efforts. Having reached this level of success in the UAE, it would be hard not to celebrate that achievement with those who are behind it. We always aim to serve our community and there is no better way to achieve this other than working harder toward being innovative and offering consumers a variety of quality meals from BURGER KING®.”
