Millionaire’s
Night - Byzak 10 Years Celebration
Byzak people from all
the regions converged upon the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal in a
perfectly planned and coordinated operation on a Friday evening
in April to celebrate 10 Years of Byzak under the leadership of
Peter Byrne, Managing Director and Owner.
With sunset views of
the Lake District on the warm spring evening guests enjoyed a
buffet meal, the bar and the entertainment of large screen
racing with a tote, casino tables with prizes, and a live band.
The highlight of the evening was a surprise presentation by the
company to Peter Byrne.
Peter Byrne was
Managing Director of the company long before he acquired the
controlling interest from the Kennedy Group in April 1997 and
adopted the name Byzak. He has strengthened its traditional
“family” core values, and has overseen its transformation to a
main stream, top ten contractor to the UK water industry
operating throughout the north of England and Scotland.
