Career Fair Visits
Our Murphy Family staff spent a day with our local high school students at the Duplin County 10th Grade Career and College Fair at the Duplin Events Center! Our marketing and hospitality teams were on-site with games, prizes, and swag.
John Wesley Hairr, a recruiter from our MFV HR team, spent the day with the students of the College of the Ozarks in Missouri and talked to them about the various careers and opportunities available at Murphy Family Ventures. We love spending time with our future leaders!
Our Mad Boar Staff is Shamrockin’
The color green was seen all across our MFV locations on St. Patrick’s Day, but our Mad Boar staff took home the prize during their St. Patrick’s Day Shamrockin’ & Rollin’ event. They hosted karaoke, dancing, bingo, and live music all while still preparing food, serving, and keeping the party going for the customers. They even had a costume contest. We think the Boar won! Thank you to the Mad Boar team for all your hard work at this event.
