At Black & White Engineering, we believe that long-term success comes from investing in our people and creating genuine opportunities for career growth across our global offices.
This month, we’re proud to celebrate two colleagues who have reached an incredible milestone: Hassaan Farooq, Group Finance Manager based in Dubai, and GP Avecilla, Associate Director based in Manila. Each mark 10 years with Black & White joining a growing group of long serving team members who have shaped our success from the early days to the global business we are today.
With more than 1,000 colleagues across the world, reaching a decade of service is a significant achievement. For us, it reflects a culture where people choose to stay and continue to grow their careers within our One Global Team.
Hassaan and GP’s stories, while beginning in different corners of the world, reflect the same spirit of collaboration and innovation that connects all our teams worldwide.
Hassaan’s Career Growth Journey at Black & White
For Hassaan, what first stood out about Black & White was “the energy and ambition from the very top.” He recalls walking through the office during his first interview and being inspired by the passion and vision of the leadership team. “Ten years later, that same drive is still what inspires me to stay,” he reflects. Over the past decade, he has seen the company evolve into a more global, structured and forward-thinking organisation, and he has grown alongside it.
“One of the highlights for me was leading the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365. It was a huge challenge, but the trust and support I received made it one of my proudest achievements here.”
GP’s Leadership Story
Across the world in Manila, GP shares a similar appreciation for the culture that has shaped his career.
“I joined Black & White for its teamwork and meaningful global projects. Ten years later, I stay inspired by the people and the culture of collaboration and excellence.”
Known for his leadership and dedication to mentoring others, GP takes pride in seeing the younger engineers he has guided now thriving in their own leadership roles. “It’s proof that when you stay curious, embrace challenges, and take ownership of your growth, you can go a long way with the support of your team.”
Growing With a Company That’s Always Moving Forward
Both Hassaan and GP have witnessed remarkable change over the years, from the company’s expansion into new regions and markets to its continued focus on innovation, learning and engineering excellence that drives long-term success.
As Hassaan puts it, “What excites me most about the future is that the ambition hasn’t slowed down. There’s always a new goal, a new opportunity, and a real sense that we’re building something lasting.”
At Black & White Engineering, we are proud to celebrate the dedication, passion, and professional career growth of our people. Their stories remind us that our greatest success lies not only in the projects we deliver but in the people who make them possible.
