This Maltese Company Surprised Its Employees With A Trip To Italy!
Can you imagine if your boss surprised you with an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy?
Well, that’s exactly what happened to the whole team at AE last December, when they set off on a 3-day escapade to Bergamo, Italy.
AE Business Advisors is a leading provider of advisory services, including tax and corporate advisory, accounting and finance, residency and immigration, compliance, and regulated iGaming services.
The company marked its 25th anniversary by giving back to the very people who made this success possible – its employees. Forget the usual office bash; this was a full-blown adventure, from touring the charming streets of Bergamo to laughter-filled gelato guessing games and wrapping it all up with a glamorous gala night. The team got the opportunity to connect on a personal level, strengthening bonds that extend beyond the workplace.
Hear it from the team
‘Learning about the trip, I had to pinch myself—it felt unreal. A local company going out of its way for such an incentive is quite rare, if not unprecedented in my experience. AE’s knack for making employees feel valued is truly special. The entire experience left me with feelings of gratefulness from both sides of the employment spectrum and genuine fun – lots of it!’
Jeremy Dingli, Account Manager
‘I was over the moon when the news of a company holiday dropped, and little did I know it would be a thrilling experience that added a whole new dimension to my time at AE. What stood out on the trip was our beautiful gala night, everything was perfectly organised! On the flip side, getting stranded at 4 am after a night of clubbing turned into a hilarious memory and a bonding experience that strengthened our team. The entire trip was unforgettable, and I owe a big thanks to my employers for making us feel valued and appreciated – moments like these truly make AE a standout workplace.’
Nicole Bonanno, Front Office Administrator
‘Having recently joined AE, the trip turned out to be the perfect opportunity to quickly connect with everyone. Beyond my expectations, the whole experience was amazing, especially bonding with colleagues outside the typical office vibe. One night, our lawyers came up with a poem and read it to the rest of the company during dinner, leaving us all crying with laughter. Definitely one to remember! At AE, our employers truly understand how to value hard work. It’s not just about being another employee in a growing firm; it feels like being part of a big, awesome family!’
Christian Sammut, Junior Accountant
‘As it was the first time travelling without my family, the entire experience became a source of personal growth and confidence. My most cherished memory from the trip is staying up late with two colleagues, learning a TikTok dance. We then ventured out at 6 am to catch a train for a quick coffee in Milan and headed to the hotel to meet the rest of the team. This unexpected adventure created lasting bonds and hilarious memories with my colleagues. Joining AE has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! Despite being the youngest team member, I’ve always felt valued and never underestimated. AE’s commitment to investing in its workforce makes working here a joy.’
Kya Bonello, Junior Accountant
