Heineken night attracted more chief executives

The ongoing Heineken Nostalgia night at the Lagoonda entertainment complex on Wednesday attracted more chief executives and senior managers at the gathering than ever before. It was a wonderful night with a display of maturity and leisure. The event organized by Sierra Leone Brewery limited is one of its kind bringing together people that matter to cool off their stress after the long day’s work.

In an exclusive interview with the marketing manager of Sierra Leone Brewery Mr. Kobi Walker said that the Heineken Nostalgia night was strictly organized for chief executives, senior manager and top guns in the country. It has been slated for every Wednesday of the week.

Heineken, he said, is so powerful drink that reduces the stress after long hours of daily pressure. Music he also said is strictly tuned to oldies as this takes the customers’ memory of life of yester-years. Rated as the best beer in the world, Heineken brings out the freshness in peoples thirst.

The Managing Director of Sierra Leone Brewery Dr John Mbonu noted in a brief remark that the SLBL has a long track record of excellence and performance in the country. Therefore organizing such a special event exits that quality. He encouraged the public to come to the Lagoonda entertainment complex and share feeling. A raffle draw climaxed the event.
