Yesterday the Bluesky team enjoyed a catered lunch as a thank you for working incredibly hard over the past few months to secure some great business wins. We will share more about these in the coming weeks, but to celebrate we enjoyed fabulous grilled meats, salad and pittas thanks to The Jockey Door and ice creams from Sam’s Ices.

It’s always good to find time just to relax for an hour or so, enjoy the warm weather (while it’s here!) and to socialise.

And did we mention we have room on our team for a few more? We are currently recruiting to fill roles in our expanding flight operations and marketing teams to meet increased customer demand. Find out more about roles available at www.bluesky-world.com/work-with-us/
