Among them were more than 1,200 founding team members who joined the company before May 18, 2004, when Sands Macao was opened. They celebrated their milestones at dedicated recognition ceremonies at Sands China properties in April and May.
They were personally recognised by Sands China Ltd. Executive Vice Chairman Dr. Wilfred Wong and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Grant Chum at the ceremonies, where they extended Sands China’s gratitude for their loyalty and continuous contributions to the development of the company.
Dr. Wilfred Wong, Executive Vice Chairman of Sands China Ltd., expresses his gratitude to long-serving team members for their contributions to the company at an anniversary event April 22 at Sands Macao to celebrate team members’ service anniversaries.
“With Sands Macao celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, it is the perfect time to recognise our founding team members, without whom Sands Macao could not have become the instant success that it was,” said Dr. Wong. “What’s more, those founding team members have shown incredible loyalty and dedication in helping the company to grow into what it is today, all the while witnessing their own professional development within the company. Many of them have taken a journey from front-of-house team members to executive leadership positions today. We are incredibly proud of them and grateful for their invaluable contributions to the success of Sands China and the development of Macao into a world centre of tourism and leisure.”
Grant Chum, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Sands China Ltd., expresses his gratitude to long-serving team members for their contributions to the company at an anniversary event April 22 at Sands Macao to celebrate team members’ service anniversaries.

With our team members’ perseverance and determination, I am confident that we will celebrate more shared successes and achievements as we grow with Macao.”
