success of others. “Ashmond is our shining star and we want to celebrate him.
The company has always taken a deliberate position to cheer on others and
allowing our stars to shine, hence we celebrate him today. The award is no
longer about Ashmond but the company as a whole. We are very proud of him for
allowing us, as a company, to shine through him,” she said.
