The Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) has recognised 39 employees from both New Providence and the Family Islands for their performance during the 2025 second quarter.

Their recognition came as BTC introduced its Air Network and fully upgraded retail store on Bimini, and announced that all Grand Bahama customers have been transitioned to its fibre network. The recognition ceremony took place on August 13 at BTC’s Perpall Tract headquarters, where the chosen employees received certificates and had their achievements formally acknowledged.

Chosen by managers for consistently surpassing expectations and dedication to their roles, BTC said the 39 represent the very best of its talent. This event is part of BTC’s ongoing quarterly recognition programme, which aims to cultivate a workplace culture that values and rewards high performance. The initiative also leads up to BTC’s annual Employee of the Year announcement at the end of 2025.

“We believe in celebrating those who make a difference,” said BTC’s people director, Patrice Thompson. “These are the individuals who push boundaries and lead by example. This second quarter group represents some of the very best of who we are as a company.

“Their dedication fuels our progress and strengthens the trust our customers place in us every day. By highlighting these remarkable contributions, we hope to inspire a ripple effect of excellence throughout our entire organisation.”

BTC’s second quarter recognition followed its first quarter celebration, where 47 staff were similarly honoured for their achievements. Additional recognition events are expected to take place at the close of the third quarter and the fourth quarter.

“We know that engaged and appreciated employees deliver their best work. These recognition moments not only celebrate success but help build a stronger, more connected team,” Ms Thompson added.

“With every spotlight and celebration, BTC reaffirms its dedication to building a culture where employees are recognised, empowered and celebrated — not just for what they do, but for the passion and purpose with which they do it.”

Angel Adderley, a BTC business-to-business (B2B) government sales account manager, and a top performer honoree, said: “This award is not just a personal achievement; it’s a reflection of the incredible support and collaboration within my team.

“I’m proud to contribute to a company that values innovation, integrity and excellence, and I’m even prouder to be part of a team that consistently delivers on those values. Recognition like this motivates me to continue pushing boundaries and delivering outstanding service to our clients across The Bahamas.”

In addition to the quarterly recognition ceremonies, BTC will host a long service awards ceremony at Government House next month, where employees who have dedicated 30 years or more to the carrier will be honoured.
