Norwood Pick n Pay connects with the community

The Norwood Mall Pick n Pay handed out certificates of excellence to a number of employees from the store and head office for their work during Pesach.

The store held a ceremony at the mall with Pick n Pay transformation director Suzanne Ackerman-Berman and Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein in attendance to congratulate the employees.

The employees which included, Pick n Pay Norwood general manager Louw Heydenreich, were awarded for their tireless work in helping the local Jewish community with service during Pass Over. Heydenreich said the store hosted various activities for community members celebrating Pesach such as in-store competitions.

Ackerman-Berman said, “Today, I’m here wearing two hats. One as a proud and thankful member of the Jewish community, while also being part of the Pick n Pay family, and I would like to commend them on their amazing work during this period.”

Rabbi Goldstein said, “I am very excited to be presenting this award to all of you who led this initiative, and who have made our community’s lives much better.” He added that it’s wonderful to see a company partner with the local community and called it ‘the South African dream’.

Heydenreich added, “Doing good is good business, and it’s important to bring yourself closer to the community that we serve.”
