They have been spending quite a time looking at the ‘Our People' picture, taken of our employees when the company celebrated its tenth anniversary.“The exhibition is a rare look back at the achievements of a progressive company. We have retrieved a selection of the permanent collection from our archives and added some unique business memorabilia that we welcome the public to visit as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations. As the company was founded in Bermuda, we wanted to include a public element to observe our milestone and to thank the Island for its support over the last quarter of a century.”The Ace Gallery, located in the Ace Building, 17 Woodbourne Avenue, Hamilton, is open to the public on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11am to 2pm.
