Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the Bahrain-based aluminium smelter, held its inaugural session of ‘2018 Town Hall Meetings’ today (January 16) at its Oasis Hall.

Well-attended by Alba employees and contractors, the ‘2018 Town Hall Meetings’ was opened by Alba’s chief executive officer Tim Murray with a motivational speech followed by his reflections on the company’s performance for the full-year of 2017 as well as Alba’s goals for 2018, said a statement from the company.

The meeting will take place until January 23 for all departments, employees as well as contractors of Alba, it said.

Alba’s 2018 expectations lays emphasis on four key topics: Safety Selfie; Rise of Line 6; Return of Titan; and Road to Resilience, it added.

Murray said: “I would like to begin by thanking Alba’s management, employees and contractors for the remarkable 981,016 metric tonnes production milestone in 2017 – an achievement to be proud of despite the setbacks in the last year.”

“Our company’s Town Hall Meetings have become a much-awaited event on our annual calendar as we look forward to reach-out and directly communicate to all levels of employees and contractors on the milestones accomplished and the year ahead for us,” he said.

“Also, 2018 will be transformational as Line 6 Expansion Project will be in full swing with large number of workforce on-site. However, our resilience in the past year has demonstrated that the impossible turned possible when we trust ourselves to do more,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
