Gapuma Goes Global at Disneyland Paris
27th August 2025 Our Communications Advisor, Shahab Mossavat, takes the G-Shirt on an international adventure While on vacation in France, Shahab Mossavat visited Walt Disney Studios in Paris, proudly sporting his distinctive Gapuma G-Shirt. Its unique design and bold colour quickly drew attention, sparking conversations and smiles. In a memorable moment, Shahab met a visitor from Côte d’Ivoire, instantly recognised by his national football shirt. A friendly “Les Éléphants?” led to shared excitement and a genuine connection—proof that Gapuma’s spirit travels wherever our people go. From Mickey Mouse to international colleagues, the G-Shirt continues to bring us together—reminding us that no matter where we are in the world, we are family. Enjoy the rest of your trip, Shahab… and don’t forget to say hello to Mickey for us!
Strengthening Partnerships in Colombia
21 August 2025 Gapuma’s LATAM Business Development Manager, Monica Bernal, recently completed a successful visit to Colombia, reinforcing our presence across this dynamic market. The trip involved close collaboration with colleagues and partners, including Luis Felipe Quintero, LATAM Account Manager from our Swiss office; Mike Short, Consultant from London; Luis Guillermo Olarte, former exclusive agent in Colombia now focusing on clients in Medellín and the Caribbean coast; and Juan Manuel Gonzalez, recently appointed agent for Bogotá and Cali. Together, they engaged across a wide range of sectors, demonstrating both the maturity and growth potential of the region. This visit strengthened relationships with senior industry figures and reaffirmed Gapuma’s commitment to providing the highest standards of professionalism and service in Colombia and across LATAM. On a lighter note, Monica also embraced local culture—posing beside the Shakira statue in Barranquilla, the singer’s hometown. A memorable stop in a productive journey! Gapuma looks forward to further collaborations across the region. For all your LATAM requirements, do not hesitate to reach out.
Gapuma Colleagues Share Flavours of the World
13th August 2025 Gapuma colleagues have come together to celebrate International Food Day with an array of dishes that span continents, cultures, and tastes. Nineteen team members contributed home-cooked specialities, transforming the day into a culinary journey through more than a dozen countries. From spicy curries and tangy street food to delicate pastries and traditional desserts, every dish told a story of heritage and pride. Highlights included Chicken Biryani, Fish Rolls with Wadei, Avocado Chaat, Polish Apple Cake with Smetana, Gajar Halwa, and vegan favourites such as Iranian Herb Rice with Fava Beans. For those with a sweet tooth, the day ended with that quintessential British classic: Sticky Toffee Pudding. This was the third Gapuma International Food Day, and the first since 2022. More than just a feast, it was an opportunity to reconnect, share traditions, and strengthen bonds across teams. The event once again proved that food is not only nourishment, but also a way of celebrating diversity and building community. Gapuma looks forward to making this celebration an annual feature across all our offices worldwide. A sincere thank you goes to all colleagues who contributed their skills, their time, and a piece of their personal culture to make the day so memorable.
