Select URC employees and their families had an enjoyable bonding activity on June 15, 2019, at the recently opened Baker John Academy. Sandwiched between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the five-hour afternoon baking session—billed as the Baker John Academy Baking Experience—was a chance for the employees to spend quality time with their families while trying out the company’s products and experiencing first-hand the baking academy’s facilities.
URC employees and their families enjoyed this unique bonding activity.
Fifteen parents from URC joined the event; along with their spouses and children, there were a total of 40 participants. A number of URC officers were also in attendance, including Gerry Magadia, Manufacturing Director; Nicanor Ines, Technology Director; and Gemma Tacata, HR Manager. Adding to the fun was the participation of the talented child actress and host Xia Vigor who joined several other children during the baking session.
Child actress Xia Vigor and her brother Liam were the event's special guests.
