17 COMMERCIAL maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 4 JULY 2018 Hilton's latest seasonal restaurant is a real 'catch' 27 June marked the launch of the Hilton's latest sea- sonal restaurant, The Catch by Merkanti. Attendees were treated to an array of deli- cious starters such as pan- fried baby calamari, Spanish style prawns and steamed mussels complimented with Merkanti's signature cock- tail. Executive Chef Eddie Shar- key described the restaurant's concept which emphasises on giving diners an unforget- table experience by treating their palates to the taste of the Mediterranean Sea. A selection of fresh fish was served as a main followed by mouth-watering treats ac- companied by an explanation from their resident Pastry Chef Otis Caruana. The Catch by Merkanti of- fers a large selection of fresh fish expertly prepared from our local shores straight to your plates.

HSBC Malta first to receive John Harper Award for an organisation HSBC's Daniel Robinson flanked by (left) the Bank's CS Manager Glenn Bugeja holding the John Harper Award and JAYE Malta chairman Karl Briffa HSBC Malta Foundation has become the first corpo- rate supporter of the Junior Achievement Young Enter- prise (JAYE) Malta Founda- tion to clinch the John Harper Award for its outstanding con- tribution to the growth and success of the non-profit insti- tution. The sui generis award was bestowed upon the HSBC Malta Foundation at the an- nual JAYE Malta Company Programme Finals of 2018, a year in which JAYE Malta is marking the 30th anniversary of being in Malta. "We can say that HSBC has been our mainstay since 1999, allowing us to grow while pro- viding our students with in- ternships, giving us mentors, teachers for the primary and secondary programmes, judges to embellish our Maltese and international judging panels. You name it, they have always been there for us. So much so that today one can barely think of JAYE Malta without HSBC coming to mind," said JAYE Malta chairman Karl Briffa. The coveted John Harp- er Award, named after the founder of Young Enterprise in Malta, is the only one given at the discretion of the organi- sation's chairmanship. Receiving the award on be- half of HSBC, Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Manage- ment Daniel Robinson said: "We were quite taken aback with this recognition for HS- BC and are very proud of the award. This recognition is for all the efforts of our col- leagues, across the bank, since 1999. We are very proud of this partnership because we believe in the JAYE purpose and it is evident that everyone that passes through JAYE does too. We look forward to con- tinuing this partnership." Last year, HSBC Malta ac- cepted 13 promising students who spent their summer with the bank, the largest intern- ship intake by a single em- ployer. HSBC's yearly financial contributions to JAYE Malta are in addition to support with human capital. HSBC Malta's partnership with JAYE Malta Foundation also helps it achieve the HSBC Group's commitment to sup- port one million people with employability skills as part its Future Skills programme. This year, HSBC Group and Junior Achievement (JA) are celebrating JA's 10-year an- niversary of HSBC Group's sponsorship of JA More than Money programme. Through this global partnership, more than 9,000 HSBC volunteers have enabled over 500,000 JA students in 51 countries to learn future skills and practice entrepreneurship. Since 2008, HSBC Group has invested over €13 million in training and educating global youth. GSD Marketing Ltd enhances beer portfolio with Leffe and Hoegaarden FOR centuries, the experience of sharing a beer has brought peo- ple and cultures together. Even in our hyper-connected, always- on the go world, this simple act is as meaningful today as it was generations ago. GSD Market- ing Ltd is committed to driving growth within the beer sector that leads to better living for our customers through brands and experiences that bring people together. Hoegaarden wheat beer has a distinctive taste that comes from a unique Belgian brewing tradi- tion. Its fruity character is inter- laced with subtle aromatic spic- es, hints of clove, coriander and gently refreshing citrus notes. Combining vanilla nuances with a crisp and bright hint of acidity gives this beer the perfect bal- ance and supreme drinkability. Leffe has a brewing tradition since 1240 and is still brewed to the same recipe to this day. Founded in 1152, Notre-Dame de Leffe was an abbey of Pre- monstratensian canons. Pilgrims were always welcome at Leffe and in 1240 the canons decided to build a brewery for the prepa- ration of a healthy, invigorating beverage. Age-old expertise and the com- bination of malt, water, hops and yeast lend Leffe Blonde its unique flavour and star-bright golden colour. Hints of vanilla and clove throughout this beer give a softly spiced smooth flavour, which is best expressed in the specially de- signed Leffe chalice. Leffe Brune has a soft, mahog- any with brown colour with the perfect balance between subtle bitterness and a sweet caramel flavour, combined with hints of coffee and cocoa that provide this beer with a deep complexity. The smooth, creamy head, the roasted aromas and the spiced flavour seem to have the ability to make time stand still. Hoegaarden, Leffe Blonde and Leffe Brune will be available both in on-trade and off-trade chan- nels in 33cl glass bottles, 75cl glass bottles and also on draught.
