Vintage Meets Vintage: Celebrating Our CEO’s Birthday in Style

Vintage wheels, vintage vibes, and a milestone worth celebrating.

This month, the Beyond Encryption team came together to mark a special birthday for Paul Holland, CEO.

The highlight of the day was climbing aboard the HMS Sultan Super Sentinel steam car for a tour of local establishments.

The sight of our team rolling past in a century-old steam car drew more than a few double takes.

We rounded off the day at the Seafire Taphouse in Lee-on-Solent, where burgers, beers, and plenty of laughs kept the celebration going.

In true Beyond Encryption style, we also added a creative twist - decorating the venue with AI-generated posters of Paul starring in classic films from his collection.

It was a lovely way to celebrate Paul's milestone and raise a glass together as a team.

For the team, the day was a chance to mark the milestone in person and share something memorable together.

"It's not every day you get to celebrate your birthday on a steam-powered icon surrounded by your team. A fantastic day with plenty of laughs and memories made."

The outing was as much about people as the vintage transport - a reminder that culture shows up in how teams spend time together, not only in policy documents.

"Getting the whole team out together matters. It is a simple way to mark a milestone and keep the connection between people strong."

Emily Plummer, Marketing Director, Beyond Encryption (Mailock)
