Day: 9 September 2023

Today, on the UK’s 999 Day, we stand together in deep gratitude and respect for the silent guardians of our society – the heroes who wear uniforms and work tirelessly to keep us safe. At BEES, we are immensely proud to support this year’s 999 Day, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to all the 999 heroes who have been, and continue to be, the backbone of our safety and security.

This special day is a poignant reminder of the 2 million brave men and women who dedicate their lives to serve and protect us. From the police force to the fire brigade, from the ambulance services to the NHS, and from search and rescue teams to countless other emergency services, your unwavering commitment is the bedrock upon which our communities thrive.

At 9 am on the 9th of September, a moment of profound silence envelopes the nation. In these two minutes, we pause to remember and honor the courageous souls from the NHS and emergency services who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their bravery, selflessness, and dedication echo through time, inspiring us to continue supporting those who serve and to cherish the values they stand for.

BEES, as a part of this community, sends a resounding thank you to all those who have donned the uniforms, those who stand ready today, and those who will follow in their footsteps tomorrow. Your acts of courage, compassion, and sacrifice do not go unnoticed. You are the embodiment of heroism, and we are privileged to stand beside you, albeit in a different role, in the pursuit of collective safety and wellbeing.

We invite everyone to visit www.999Day.org.uk to learn more about the significance of this day and to join us in expressing gratitude to our 999 heroes. Together, let us reaffirm our commitment to supporting these extraordinary individuals who ensure that our communities remain safe, secure, and resilient.

With profound respect and admiration,

The Annual BEES BBQ is more than just an event; it’s a tradition that binds us together, reminding us of the power of unity and camaraderie. This weekend, the air was filled with laughter and the delicious aroma of barbecued delights as all the departments of BEES came together for this cherished occasion.

The event was a testament to our appreciation for the hard work and dedication of our team members. It’s not just about acknowledging their efforts but also about expressing our gratitude in a way that fosters a sense of community and belonging. The BBQ served as a vibrant tapestry, weaving together the diverse talents and skills that define BEES.

A special note of gratitude goes to Jodie and Chris Bowers, whose generosity and warmth once again shone brightly as they graciously opened their home to host this gathering. Their kindness transformed their residence into a welcoming haven, where our staff and their families could come together and enjoy a day of togetherness.

The day was filled with activities that catered to every member of the BEES family. There were games that brought out the competitive spirit in us, fostering friendly rivalries and creating moments of pure joy. The aroma of sizzling barbecue wafted through the air, tantalizing our taste buds and bringing everyone together around the dining tables.

As the sun set and the evening descended, the atmosphere transformed into one of warmth and camaraderie. Conversations flowed freely, and bonds were strengthened. It was a time to reflect on the challenges overcome, the milestones achieved, and the collective success that we had all contributed to throughout the year.

So, as we bid adieu to yet another unforgettable BBQ, we carry with us the laughter, the shared stories, and the spirit of togetherness. We are grateful for the opportunity to come together, not just as colleagues but as friends and family.
