| 🟠 Raising Awareness: A powerful session with Pedostop Yesterday, the ITL Foundation held a powerful and eye-opening workshop in partnership with Pedostop, a local organisation committed to fighting child sexual abuse.
The session was both instructive and deeply moving, offering insights into the often-hidden realities faced by children in our society. Many of us were touched by the personal stories shared and the staggering facts that revealed just how urgent and widespread this issue is.
Through this session, we have become more sensitised to the signs of abuse and the importance of speaking up. It also reminded us of our role - not just as professionals, but as members of a wider community - in helping to create a safer and more protective environment for children.
Our sincere thanks to the Pedostop team for the impactful work they do, and to all colleagues who attended in Level 2 or via Zoom. 🧡 | | 🎉 A fond farewell to Joe Chan 😢 Last Monday, the team gathered to celebrate Joe's retirement - a moment filled with warmth, laughter (definitely), and a few nostalgic tears. After more than two decades of dedicated service, Joe is turning the page to a well-deserved new chapter. From his trademark “Bonjour, les jeunes!” to his unmistakable presence in our domino rounds 🎲, Joe’s humour, generosity, and leadership have left a lasting imprint on all of us. The farewell was a beautiful tribute to the many roles he played - mentor, partner, motivator, and friend. As Joe steps into this new phase, we wish him all the best for the adventures ahead. Thank you, Joe, for everything you have given to the team - you will always be part of the Andersen & Imperium family. 🥂🌟 | | | 🥂 Farewell & Financial Year-End cheers Last Friday, the Andersen team came together for a lively gathering to mark the end of the financial year - and to raise a special toast to Joe Chan, whose remarkable journey with the firm has come to a close. 🎉 As we celebrated our milestones and looked ahead to a new year, it was also a moment of heartfelt reflection. Joe’s journey has been nothing short of visionary. There were laughs (and a few tears) as colleagues recalled Joe’s iconic end-of-year greetings - “Bonne Année & Joyeux Noël” weeks in advance 😄 - and his ability to turn even the busiest days into something lighter with just a few words. You will be missed - and remembered - always. 💫 | | Last Tuesday, the Imperium team came together to say goodbye to Himanshu during a small farewell gathering. As he moves on from his time with us, it was the perfect moment to share a few laughs and reflect on the memories made along the way. During the farewell, the team shared a few funny stories (some of which may never be forgotten! 😄) that perfectly captured his unique presence and personality We wish Himanshu the very best as he takes this next step in his journey. May you continue to grow, learn, and thrive wherever you go. Good luck, Himanshu - the future is yours! 🚀👏 | | 🎤 Friday night fever: Karaoke edition! 🎶 What better way to wrap up the week than with music, laughter, and a little friendly Karaoke afternoon? Last Friday, ESG Intellis, INCE, and Imperium Services came together to host an unforgettable karaoke evening - and let’s just say, the performances did not disappoint! 😄🎉 The playlist had something for everyone. The room lit up with voices as colleagues took on timeless hits like “Le Lac du Connemara”, “Dancing Queen”, “I Want It That Way”, “La Place des Grands Hommes”, and even the beloved Bollywood classic “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”. 🎶💃🕺 It was the perfect way to end the week - relaxed, joyful, and full of team spirit.

| | | The original title was Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, and Carroll illustrated it himself with his own sketches ✏️. Lewis Carroll was a mathematics don at Oxford University 🎓➗ – some say Wonderland is full of logical puzzles and wordplay that reflect his academic mind 🧠. The Cheshire Cat’s grin 😺 was inspired by old English sayings and may be linked to carved signs seen in 18th-century pubs 🍻. The Queen of Hearts ❤️👑 was believed to be a satire of Queen Victoria – fiery temper and all! “Mad as a Hatter” 🧢 came from real-life hat-makers in the 1800s, who were exposed to mercury used in felt hats – causing tremors and behavioural changes 🧪😬. | | Alice in Wonderland has never been out of print since 1865 and has been translated into over 170 languages 🌎. Famous fans include Salvador Dalí, who illustrated his own version in 1969 🎨, and The Beatles, who referenced the story in “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” 🎶🌌. The story has inspired countless film versions – from Disney’s animated classic (1951) 🎞️ to Tim Burton’s gothic reimagining in 2010 🌘. The White Rabbit 🐇 was the first animated character to appear alongside live-action actors in a feature film – Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)! Lewis Carroll invented the word “chortle” (chuckle + snort) – and it entered the Oxford English Dictionary 🗣️📘. | | BIRTHDAYS/NEWCOMERS/LEAVERS |
