The ghosts, ghouls and witches of blueAPACHE were out in force to celebrate Halloween in our global head office in Melbourne. The Client Services Group turned up at work on Tuesday to find that the office landscape had changed overnight taking on an eerie vibe.
“This was a great opportunity to do something fun and non-work related with the team and share a few laughs. I enjoyed dressing up as zombie pirate although, according to some, my costume was more comical than scary”, said Simon. We also had a costume competition judged by James; the women from our global team rocked their creepy outfits with Samantha and Ana Maria taking home the prizes. “I was dressed as the white witch. I was worried about my contact lens but turns out the wig was heaps more uncomfortable! But it was fun and everyone had a good time”, said Samantha.
