20 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 21 OCTOBER 2018 COMMERCIAL A group of Junior Achieve- ment Young Enterprise (JAYE) Malta Foundation students who were intern- ing at HSBC Bank Malta this summer to develop personal and professional skills got more than they signed-up for when the bank provided them with an experience outside the office in order to gain a deeper appreciation for the environment around them. The students spent a day at Xrobb l-Ghagin Nature Park oiling the wooden fences and picnic furniture at this im- portant natural reserve in the south of Malta. In addi- tion, the team of 12 interns assisted in cleaning a dinghy that is used by site manager of Nature Trust Malta for the rescue of turtles at sea. The 155,000sq.m park in the south of Malta is home to re- search on renewable energy, water, biodiversity, and en- ergy efficiency. Daniel Robinson, Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management of HSBC Malta said: "At HSBC Malta, envi- ronment and its protection is an integral part of how we run our business. In fact, it is one of the three key areas of our social investment, along with supporting education and the preservation of Mal- tese heritage. We hope that the interns' time at HSBC Malta this summer shaped not only their professional acumen but also helped them appreciate our precious nat- ural environment." Kurt Spiteri, a JAYE intern, said: "This experience allowed us to give a contribution to- wards a noble cause while also serving as a great team-build- ing activity." Back in the office, the JAYE students had a busy summer at HSBC Malta. Through various JAYE Malta Foundation pro- grammes, participants had the opportunity to meet and in- teract directly with several key officials at the bank, including the heads of human resources and retail banking and wealth management. Another group of students spent a day at the bank as part of JAYE Malta's Leaders for a Day 2018 initia- tive. Yet another opportunity brought the students together with the bank's designated future leaders of the bank to learn about career progression options. It is to be noted that last year HSBC Malta welcomed the largest intake of JAYE Malta interns any business in Malta ever accepted. The NGO also receives funding from HSBC Group as part of the global bank's investment in the area of Future Skills. AMONG Famalco Group's di- verse range of represented com- panies, one may find the excit- ing, excavation and demolition specialist company known as Faceworks Ltd. Although one of Famalco's youngest members since beginning operations un- der the parent company in Au- gust 2008, Faceworks Ltd. has established a well-earned name for itself within the Industry. The company offers an ex- tremely reliable service thanks to their committed staff and state-of-the-art equipment. In fact, when first starting out, Faceworks made a bold decision and invested in new and inno- vative equipment rather than use second-hand and less costly ones, even though the market was at the verge of saturation at the time. The company's equip- ment consists of Trenchers, Ex- cavators (such as the gigantic Case Excavator 1121F), Dump- ing Trucks, Bucket Crushers and other equipment which weigh up to 49 tonnes. This array of equipment not only allows for optimal performance and prac- ticality, but also sets Faceworks apart, as it boasts one of the larg- est fleets in the country within the excavation and demolition industry. Since the company only invests in high-end equip- ment, Faceworks guarantees the latest technology, safety on the workplace, reduction of exces- sive noise levels and the most effective eco-friendly service as possible. Given that the company has only been operating for 10 years, Faceworks Ltd. proudly show- cases an impressive portfolio of work. These projects range from excavation works on Hyundai and Fiat showrooms, works on Mercury House in Paceville to the excavation of old factories, lands for apartments and the excavation and conversation of a quarry in Siggiewi. The company is also responsi- ble for refurbishments on petrol service stations such in Bir id- Deheb and in Marsascala. Hermann Mallia, the Direc- tor and Co-Founder of Face- works' parent company, Famal- co Group, happily said that the company aims at proving the best service possible. "Faceworks wishes to become a household name when it comes to excavation and demolition", says Mallia, a dream which is quickly being realised given the company's ever-growing popu- larity on the island. The company's success is also subject to its hard-working em- ployees who are dedicated in providing the best possible ser- vice to their clients. The company appreciates its employees' hard-work and in- vests in them by means of train- ing programmes on equipment handling and overall workplace safety. As a result, Faceworks' employees feel appreciated by the company. In fact, Cleaven Fenech, who has been working for the com- pany for the past two years said, "Now that I joined Faceworks, I don't see myself anywhere else". He continued that Faceworks' Director and Famalco's young- est Co-Founder, Etienne Mal- lia, is one of the most respectful people he has ever met, who in- stantly believed in Fenech's ca- pabilities and provided him with limitless opportunities. Among the array of services Faceworks provides are Land Clearing, Well Excavation, Waste Management, Trench- ing, Excavation and Demolition. Faceworks also offers Recycling Services of inert waste mate- rial in their Quarry in Siggiewi. Given these array of services and the company's history in a short period of time, it comes as no surprise that Faceworks will continue to thrive for many years to come.
