Life at Borg Galea

Every October we dedicate Fridays to wearing something pink to help raise and maintain awareness about Pink October. It is also a good opportunity to remember all the super warriors out there, whose strength and perseverance we strongly admire! 🎗️

Today, our team wore 🎀 pink 🎀 and was treated to a Pink October cupcake in aid of Hospice Malta. Our firm is happy to have supported another important movement during its Pink October awareness campaign and encourages not only our team but also the public in general to donate and support such invaluable causes. 🌸

🤝 Team Bonding at its Best! 🤝

Earlier this week, we had a relaxing summer evening at the beautiful Castello Dei Baroni! 🏰 Our team came together for a fantastic BBQ by the pool 🌊, enjoying great food 🥩🍗, stunning views 🌕📷, and each other’s company 👥 It was the perfect way to unwind, share some laughs, and strengthen our team spirit. Here’s to more cheerful and precious moments like these! 🎉

🌼💛🐣 Wishing everyone a very Happy and Blessed Easter! 🐣💛🌼

🌼 Ahead of this year’s Easter Sunday, we celebrated the spirit of joy, hope, and giving by wearing Easter colours and indulging in the traditional ‘figolla.’ 🐰

Through the purchasing of these ‘figolli’ we are pleased to have helped Amigos, a group of young volunteers established by the Augustinian Friars to provide youths with the opportunity to carry out voluntary work amongst the poor in Africa. This group is heading to Mozambique this summer and we are happy to have been part of their fund-raising initiatives.🤝

Let’s continue spreading love, kindness, and positivity this Easter season and beyond! 💛🌷

🍀☘️ Feeling Lucky and Green! 🍀☘️

As per our yearly tradition, we sported green attire to embrace the spirit of St Patrick’s! Cheers to another day filled with laughter, green vibes, props and wonderful memories! 🎩

🥂💚 We hope you had a cheerful St Patrick’s Day! 🥂💚

🌟💜 Celebrating the Power of Women! 💜🌟

💼 Today, we’re not just crunching numbers – we’re celebrating the incredible women who shape our firm and our industry. Here at Borg Galea, we’re proud to stand with women everywhere as champions of progress and equality. We believe in creating a workplace where diversity thrives, where every voice is heard, and where talent knows no boundaries. 🌈👩‍💼

As a token of thanks and to commemorate this unique day, we gifted all our lovely female employees with a pretty, personalised resin bookmark. 💖🤩

👏 Let’s continue to celebrate the remarkable contributions of women within our firm and beyond. 💫🌟

Happy International Women’s Day to all the phenomenal women out there! 💃💫

🤝 On this day, we celebrated the heart and soul of our firm – our incredible team! 💕 Their continuous dedication, hard work, and passion propel our success every day 💼

We believe that a simple gesture of thanks can speak volumes, and what better way to express our gratitude than with some delightful treats? As each team member enjoyed a delicious cookie 🍪, we hope they felt the warmth of our appreciation. Together, we are not just colleagues, but a tight-knit community bound by a shared vision and a common purpose. 🙌💫

💘🌹 We hope you had a lovely Valentine’s this year! 🌟💘

On this special day, we took the opportunity to spread love and care, not just numbers! ❤️ We wanted to express our gratitude to our esteemed clients and team members with plenty of sweet treats and red vibes. Your trust and partnership mean the world to us.

Just like in finance, relationships thrive on trust and commitment. We’re here to support you every step of the way. Let’s keep building a financially strong and prosperous future together! 💑💰

❤️ Wishing you days filled with love, laughter, and financial well-being! ❤️

🎭🎉 Happy Carnival from all of us! 🎉🎭

Ahead of Malta’s Carnival weekend, some of us could not resist adding a Carnival touch to their office attire! We wish everyone in Malta and beyond a fantastic Carnival weekend filled with colourful joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories 🥳🎊.

We hope you get to enjoy the vibrant colours, dazzling costumes, and infectious energy! Let’s celebrate the spirit of togetherness and cultural richness that makes Carnival truly special! 🎈🎶 🎭

We have recently had the pleasure of experiencing a splendid 🎉 Christmas party 🎉 at the Radisson Golden Sands hotel. This party was not only a celebration of festive joy and togetherness, but also an outstanding end to a successful 2023💫

We take the opportunity to thank ALL our team for their steadfast dedication, teamwork, and commitment throughout the year! 🥂

Congratulations to our winners of the 🌟2023 Employee Recognition Awards🌟. Being a Christmas event, we infused additional festive cheer by celebrating Secret Santa and popping a few Christmas awards! Congratulations to our holly jolly winners 🎅☃

It is a privilege to host such events and team-building initiatives for our deserving team! We are now ready to bid farewell to a successful 2023, spend time with loved ones, and to embrace an anticipated 2024! 🤩

We wish our dedicated team, our esteemed clients, and all their loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎆 🎁 🎊

💙 Movember has become our yearly, customary celebration. At the end of the month, we gather to close off this special month and also commemorate International Men’s Day, which falls on the 19^th of November. ♂👨🏻‍🦱

💙 We are proud of our team’s enthusiasm in raising awareness for men’s health. From growing (and competing!) the famous ‘staches to sparking crucial conversations, we’ve united in support of men’s health – specifically prostate and testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. We also dedicated each Friday to wearing blue attire. Our sweet tooth was satisfied with delightful cupcakes and donuts, proceeds of which have gone to support Hospice Malta.

💙 A huge well done goes to all our male team members who participated in the yearly Moustache Challenge! Their extensive effort and dedication to elevate this cause’s awareness were noted from the start! We congratulate our top 3 winners for their ‘staches – Larken, followed by Mohamed, and Albert. Interestingly, we had a tie between Larken and Mohamed! A 2^nd round of votes ensued and Larken emerged as the 2023 Moustache Challenge winner! 🥸

💙 Although Movember approached its end, our commitment towards men’s well-being stays. 👨🏻‍🦱

🎃 We hope your Halloween was a 🧙🏼‍♀️thrilling 🧟‍♂️ and spooktacular🕷️celebration like ours 👻

💕🎗️ We are happy to have supported an important cause throughout Pink October by donating money to the Action for Breast Cancer Foundation in Malta. A lovely sum was collected and we thank all our team members for joining our initiative and generously contribute with us. 🌸🎗️

🌼🎗️ We take the opportunity to encourage anyone reading this to donate anytime they want to such an invaluable cause. It feels good knowing you are making a difference to someone’s life! 🌺🎗️

At our firm, the health and well-being of our employees is crucial. In line with this commitment, we participated in a coeliac disease testing offered by ITAMA CAP – an EU funded project. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten. It affects a person’s digestive system and overall health. 

The testing process was confidential and minimally invasive. It consisted of a brief, online health questionnaire and a visit from a qualified nurse at our office to conduct the testing through a simple and quick finger prick with point-of-care testing kits.

We aimed to create a safe, informative, and supportive environment for those potentially affected by or interested to learn more about coeliac disease. Each employee was also offered to invite their family members to undergo this testing. 

Results were communicated discreetly and confidentially to all participants. For those who may have tested positive, we know that they will be provided with professional medical advice and the required support. 

We are committed to fostering a healthy workplace environment where everyone feels supported and empowered in managing their health. As a firm, we aim to continue to introduce similar initiatives that promote a healthy lifestyle, prioritise employee wellness, and provide resources for making the right health-related choices. 👏🏻

🌸🎗️October is not just another month. It is a time when our office transforms into a vibrant sea of pink to embrace Pink October with enthusiasm and purpose. Here’s a glimpse of this year’s Pink October commitments 🌸🎗️

🌺 Pinky Fridays Dress Code

🌸 Pink Ribbon Campaign

💖 An Informative Session to empower our employees with knowledge about breast health, self-examinations, and the importance of early detection.

🌼 Fundraising Initiatives: We treated ourselves by purchasing donuts and cupcakes from Hospice Malta. Proceeds from our Pink Ribbon Campaign were donated to the Malta Action for Breast Cancer Foundation.

🎀 Office Decor: Anything from uplifting messages, leaflets and pink balloons.

Pink October has become a staple month on our yearly calendars. Besides raising awareness, this year we are proud to have financially helped two local NGO’s and we take the opportunity to encourage you to do the same.

🌸🎗️Together, we are stronger. Together, we can make a difference. 💪💕

⚓ We set sail and made waves at our 2^nd 2023 summer company event.

Our brilliant team headed to Sliema to embark on a one-day adventure. From the moment we stepped aboard, the ocean breeze and laughter-filled air set the tone for an unforgettable day on the glistening Mediterranean waters. ⛵

The combination of the soporific sun 🌞,lapping waves 🌊 and ongoing music 🎶 cheered us on as we spent the day sailing along the Maltese Islands’ shoreline as our backdrop.

We indulged ourselves with scrumptious pistachio-filled croissants 🥐 and the notorious Maltese ‘ftira!’

This long-awaited summer event emanated a journey of connection, team bonding and pure joy 😎. A mighty shout out to our team for bringing their energy and enthusiasm. Absolutely a summer to remember! 💛🔝

📣 It was our pleasure to host and assist Amélie, Alexi and Éva! They have recently completed a two-month internship program with our firm.

All three students are currently reading for a post-baccalaureate degree in Management and Accounting 📚 at the Louis Pasteur school in Avignon, France 🇫🇷. This internship was part of their course requirements. They decided to fly to📍🌍 Malta 🇲🇹 and chose us to help them fulfil this requirement.

All our team extends their best wishes to Amélie, Alexi and Éva for the rest of their studies and all of their future endeavours 🏆. We are glad to have been part of your educational and professional journeys!

👍Contact us on 📧[email protected] for further assistance with internships, apprenticeships or employment whilst undergoing your professional studies.

🍷🌳☀️ Precisely on the first day of summer, we spent our afternoon sipping wine, gazing at the scenic vineyards, and catching up at the Meridiana Wine Estate in Ta Qali. 🍇🍷

Our afternoon was set in motion with an explanation about the history of the winery, followed by a visit to the winery’s process hall where we viewed the independently temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks used for wine-making and its storage. 🏭🍇

We then proceeded to the underground cellars containing French oak barriques used for the maturation of red wine. 🍷🍇 Next came the most-awaited part – the wine-tasting! 🍷🍇

Four different wines were poured into wine glasses and served to be enjoyed in the winery’s charming terrace overlooking the vineyards. 🍷🍇 We helped ourselves to mouth-watering charcuterie boards and cold pasta salads and just like that, the hours seemed to rush by in just a minute! 🧀🍝

The tranquil and serene environment ensured a superb start to our summer 2023 season and a merited break in each other’s good company. 🥂🌳💕

On the first Friday of June 2023, we treated our Audit Team for lunch outside of the office as part of our team-building initiatives.

Having reached the middle of this year, our Audit Team deserved a break and a thank you towards the hard work they continuously inputted and all the deadlines met.

We enjoy spending time and unwinding with our team and look forward to more events and incentives which we are planning for the upcoming summer months.

🌷A very Happy Easter🌷to all our clients, followers, employees, and their families!

🐣 Easter joy was all around us this week as we egg-cellently celebrated the Easter period at the office. We dressed in white 🤍 and yellow 💛 for the occasion and all our team members were given a choice of Easter egg as a thank you for their hard work and commitment.

We take the opportunity to wish everyone a relaxing and enjoyable Easter break. 🐇🌱🌼

Many more exciting events are in the pipeline for 2023💫 and we are beyond excited to continue adding to our repertoire of wonderful memories together as one big team! 🤩📷

Happy International Women’s Day to our wonderful women at Borg Galea! You are an inspiration to us all! 🥂

The 8^th of March is a special day where we commemorate female empowerment💪🏻and the importance of ensuring a working environment with gender equality as one of its main pillars. Gender equality is always a work in progress so besides awareness, we are today committing ourselves to continue ensuring equal opportunities for all. 🙌🏻

We celebrated this day by wearing the International Women’s Day three synonymous colours: purple 💜to signify justice and dignity, green💚to symbolize hope and white🤍 to represent purity.

Our female employees have been gifted books📚 of empowering, inspiring and strong women since World Book Day was also a few days ago on the 2^nd March 2023.

We also wish our esteemed female clients the courage and strength to continue striving in their excellence. 👌🏻

“All we need is love…and good treats to make it sweeter!” ❤️🍫

On this Valentine’s Day, we would like to thank our special team for being as great as they are! Forever grateful for the love and laughter we share. You are all fantastic individuals and we are so proud of you. We hope you get to enjoy and cherish this day with your loved ones. 🥳

We also extend our best wishes for a Happy Valentine’s Day 2023 to all our esteemed clients.

The 7^th of December 2022 marked our yearly Christmas company event. 🎄 After yet another busy but successful year, our team geared up to celebrate this special time of the year. We spent the afternoon impressing each other with our bowling skills. 🎳 It was exciting seeing the teams competing and doing their utmost to win this bowling competition. Congratulations goes to Team 1 made up of Larken, Darren, Glenda and Antonina! 🎉

We then continued celebrating this festive period and each other’s company at a well-known Italian restaurant, where we indulged in mouth-watering pizzas and pastas. 🍝

We wish the very best for this upcoming Christmas and New Year to our exceptional employees, our respected clients and all their loved ones.

For each Friday throughout November, we are wearing blue to raise awareness about men’s health issues like mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. 👨🏻‍🦱

Our male accountants and auditors were challenged to grow their moustaches to support this month’s cause. Today, ahead of International Men’s Day on the 19th of November, we celebrated Movember and invited our female employees to vote for the Movember Moustache Challenge winner. 💙

Congratulations to Julian Sammut and well done to all our fantastic male employees for your enthusiastic participation!

From all of us at Borg Galea, we wish everyone a Happy Movember month and a happy International Men’s Day 2022 to all the great men out there!

We hope you had a Fang-Tastic Monday just like us! 🎃

After the Halloween weekend, our employees brought the Halloween spookiness back to the office this morning. Looks like setting a Halloween dress code did the trick! 🧟‍♀️

Happy Halloween from all of us at Borg Galea!

If you would like to join our fun, dynamic and energetic team, you are more than welcome to check out our careers page and get in touch with us! 💻

Pink October at Borg Galea! 💖

This October, we proudly wore pink for all the warriors out there! We admire your courage and strength. 💪🏻

Never stop believing in hope because miracles happen everyday. We also believe that knowing that breast cancer exists is not enough. We encourage everyone to get informed and pass this on!

This day is a special reminder that the simplest acts of charity can yield a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. 🥰 We usually celebrate events where we indulge ourselves. This time around, it was time for us to give something back and therefore shifted our attention to those going through a rough patch in their lives. 

For the past few days, all our employees donated money so that we could purchase food items to donate to Foodbank Lifeline. 😊 This Food Bank helps individuals, couples and families living in Malta who are struggling to put food on their tables. We thought there is no better day than the International Day of Charity, celebrated globally on the 5th of September, to hand our food donations to this noble foundation and to spread awareness. 

To celebrate our initiative and this charitable occasion, we dressed in blue and white because this day also commemorates Mother Teresa’s death and remarkable charity work throughout her life. 🙏 

We sincerely hope that our thoughts make a positive impact on those in distress. As a team, we also encourage anyone reading this to do the same, either through food donations or monetary assistance to either Food Bank Malta, like we did, or any other just cause that you might believe in. 💙 

Today, we take the opportunity to commemorate two special days celebrated this month: International Cat  Day on the 8th of August and International Dog  Day, which is celebrated today, the 26th of August.

We combined these two dates to think about our special, furry friends with all their cute quirks and funny personalities.

Our employees were asked to share with us a photo of their cats and dogs… and here they are! 

We could not resist sharing this cuteness overload on our social media pages / website!

Happy International Cat Day & Happy International Dog Days from all of us at Borg Galea, our cute pets included! 

Hard work truly pays off 👌🏼

We would like to congratulate our student employees for passing their examinations with flying colours 🤩

We are proud of your achievements and look forward to supporting you throughout your professional and educational journeys.

We wish you the best of luck for more success in the future.🥂

Here is a sneak peek behind our photography shoot at our offices yesterday. 📸

We are excited to see the final images and would like to give a thank you to our awesome employees for their cooperation and big smiles for the camera. Finally, a big thank you to our photographers for their sterling work and patience. 👏

It was a day full of treats at the office! 🍫

On the 7th of July, the Borg Galea & Associates team celebrated World Chocolate Day with all things sweet, from chocolate biscuits, hot chocolate, and chocolate wafers.

It was the perfect excuse to celebrate one of life’s best indulgences. 😊

We hope you also enjoyed this day & were able to treat yourself.

The spirit of Easter is about Hope, Love, Joyful Living…and ‘figolli’! 🐇

Here at Borg Galea, we have treated ourselves to the traditional Maltese ‘figolla’ – which is super popular in Malta at Easter time in both pastry shops and home kitchens.🥰

From all of us at Borg Galea, we wish you a Happy Easter (‘L-Għid it-Tajjeb’)!

We are not only good at our profession, we have now also officially become archery masters! 🏹

It was time for our 1st team-building event outside of the office for 2022. Our employees were notified to keep the afternoon free … but not told what was going to happen! After almost a whole month of waiting and guessing, it was finally time to reveal the surprise! We spent a lovely sunny afternoon practising archery. 🌞Luckily no one was hit and all ground rules were observed, although a cat attempted to cross over at one point and risked being hit by our archery pros!

Some things in life are worth waiting for and so was this event!

We do not have to be Irish to celebrate this day, so why is today celebrated by many? 💚

St Patrick is synonymous with the arrival of Christianity in Ireland but is also a key date which celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Nowadays, this day is being celebrated by those of Irish heritage around the world … but also by those who are not (just like us!) and love to have fun whenever they can! 😇

At Borg Galea & Associates we are proud to commemorate #internationalwomensday2022! 👩

We fully support this year’s theme, which is ‘Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow,’ as we believe and sustain a work environment where equal opportunities are there for all.

On this special occasion, we take the opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to our wonderful female colleagues for their sterile work, dedication, and determination! 🫶🏻

We celebrated the most important global event dedicated to wildlife. With this year’s theme being “Recovering Key Species for Ecosystem Restoration,” we commemorated this event to raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants and their importance to mankind. 🦒🦁

We believe that all our day-to-day actions at work, at our homes, and within society at large can make a  big difference to our environment and also leave a lasting impact on the world. It is never too late to work harder to take care of our planet! Every little counts!
