Silverstar Casino, 5th November 2016. ROCCI hosted their FNB/ROCCI Annual Business of the Year awards 2016.

Nominated businessmen and women arrived on the red carpet to attend the prestigious, “ROCCI/FNB on Broadway”, Business of the Year awards, at Silverstar Casino.

The Attendees arrived, looking beautifully dressed in their ballroom gowns and the men handsome in their tuxedos, greeted on the red carpet with sparkling champagne, in the foyer. The electric atmosphere and building excitement could be felt by everyone, as they waited in anticipation for the doors to open.

Nominees stood in glitzy awe as they went in greeted by the spectacular sight of tables that’s were alight with blinged up Broadway hats, dancing girls stockinged legs, shimmering masks, diamond glowing vases, surrounded with feathers ,boas and fairy lights, awash in black white and teal, and lots of bling.

Broadway was indeed in the hall everywhere, and five star all the way.
The MC was none other than Martin Jonas, who had the guests entranced and laughing, with his quick sharp wit and fantastic humour.

Before the Nominees were awarded with their certificates, Frog Productions, entertained the guests with their Broadway show in between the formalities.

The food served was delicate and beautifully decorated, and the guests were treated with starters of roasted carrot, potato and coriander fritters, with pan-fried halloumi strips and a salad of micro herbs dressed in a hummus dressing. Followed by a main meal of Slow roasted thyme-infused lamb shoulder, sous vide chicken ballontine stuffed with brie and sundried potato, buttered French beans, saffron pommes fondant and sage jus, and the finally of an delicious dessert of New york red velvet cheese cake with a blueberry compote and lavender tuile. The guests raved at the delicious quality of the food and service. Each table was allocated with a bucket service and their own team of servers.

Nominees were called up and awarded their certification by President of ROCCI Chamber, Marietjie Esterhuizen, and Guest Speakers from FNB Regional Head, Gauteng West, Michelle Geraghty & Business Partners Regional Manager Jeremy Lang.

The Keynote speaker namely Nicolina Di Santonio, former President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry gave a phenomenal insight of her journey, on becoming the first female president of any Chamber in the world.
