Building relationships with those around us makes us all stronger and more successful.

Andrew Chin, Assistant Manager at Orlando (MCO) has been with Menzies for five years and is our 2023 global winner for Teamwork for his commitment to his team and station to co-ordinate the station recovery efforts following a hurricane.

In 2022 Orlando experienced direct impacts from two major hurricanes and his nomination describes the actions he took during hurricane Ian: “The facility faced significant flooding with rainfall around 15 inches (38cm). Andrew reported to work for the hurricane team with the General Manager and remained at work for two and a half days coordinating field activities to aid the recovery of the airport so operations could restart the following day. This included recovering more than 50,000 gallons of petroleum contact water from 310 hydrant pits and approximately 20 vaults. All facility fuel tanks had to be checked for free water and cleared before operations could restart.”

Andrew shared what winning the award means to him: “Winning is a bittersweet moment as it feels like I am getting the recognition that my entire team rightfully deserves. There truly is no 'I' in team, and I am so very appreciative of the group we have here at MCO, hands down the best people I have ever worked with.

“Thanks Kamal, George, Humberto, James, Canino, Waddly, Johnnie, Miguel, Dre, Roody, Fritz, Daryl, Green, Marcos, Graham, Nelson, Zerlina, Marlene, Cesar, Javier, Wilberto, JJ, Juan, Chris, Dee, Doug, Vazquez, Garland and Larry."

Graham Martinez, General Manager MCO presented Andrew with his award during MORSE Week, “It was rewarding for me to see Andrew recognized for all of his dedication to Menzies and the MCO Team. Andrew is a hard worker who can always be counted on, no matter the situation.”
