24 August 2018
They say Christmas comes around once a year but at CT International, we enjoy celebrations of that nature all year round. Just last month, I hosted another successful Trolley Dash for my employees. For the past 14 years, I have given back in more ways than one. What is especially important to me is to cherish my employees for all their hard work, long hours, commitment and loyalty in to making CT International a leading Financier. Now I know that a simple thank you means a lot, but I have long ago decided that I will do something extra special for my staff. This is the annual Trolley Dash my employees get to embark on. The rules to participate in the Trolley Dash is simple. You have to prove yourself with good attendance and displaying good work ethic.
I am proud to say that 22 of my staff members qualified for the Trolley Dash this year.
Well done to all those for qualified for the Trolley Dash 2018. I am sure that you will agree that in today’s times, every bit helps. This year’s Dash which was held on Friday 24 August took place at Game Store N1 City. What adds to the fun and excitement about the Dash is that participants are taken to a surprise location where they get to fill up their trollies until it cannot hold any more. Staff geared up in their running shoes and arrived at the store at 08: 00 am, ready to take on the aisles in their shopping extravaganza.
The participants this year really gave me a run for my money and ran up a bill of R56 965.10 worth of purchases. From appliances to groceries, luxuries and household essentials, the day was a great success and a difference was made in so many lives.
It was not only a fun experience but also one of sheer pleasure. The smile of my staff’s face was priceless. They have all expressed their gratitude for this opportunity which allowed some a little extra to fill their grocery cupboards with.
I want to end off by thanking all Champions once again. Your relentless hard work, continuous dedication and firm commitment has enabled you to qualify for this year’s trolley dash. What an honour it is to be amongst those who have proven their excellence as Champion employees.
As I have said to everyone, the exciting part is that everybody has an opportunity to qualify. So, think of it this way, from today forward everyone one of you qualify for trolley dash. You are starting off a winner. Only you can knock yourself out?
We look forward to seeing some new faces joining in on next year’s Trolley Dash.

Your Captain
