Capturing the spirit of GTD desco with almost the entire team in one frame was a fun challenge!

While it’s a tall order to bring together our vibrant team from across the globe, this snapshot represents our best effort yet. Proudly expanding, GTD Desco now boasts a dynamic workforce of dedicated professionals, spanning four continents—Asia, Europe, North America, and Australasia.

In this mosaic of cultures and climates, can you spot our Canadian colleagues? Hint: They’re the ones who seem undaunted by the cold, donning just shirts or polo shirts while the rest of us bundle up in jackets and coats. Despite there being snow on the ground in some areas, our Canadian team member quipped that it felt like a balmy summer day, especially compared to the -19°C they’d recently left behind in Canada. This moment of camaraderie and light-hearted banter truly encapsulates the diverse spirit of our global GTD Desco family, something which we are very proud of. A photo that will proudly be displayed on many of the team’s office walls across the globe.
