The Algarve Business Awards was a great success and “has already set a great precedent for next year”, said organisers.
The Gala Awards Night was held at the Tivoli Marina Hotel and Conference Centre in Vilamoura on Friday, November 11, with 200 guests in attendance to watch the finalists receive their awards.
Launched by Kelly Harper, Vanessa Lima and Shebang Events & PR Management, the Algarve Business Awards have been launched to “celebrate some of the region’s best companies, entrepreneurs and community innovation ideas”.
“Celebrating our successes is so important and I look forward to launching the 2023 Algarve Business Awards in the new year,” said Carolyn McKeown from Shebang Events & PR Management.
Organisers would like to thank everyone who took the time to enter the awards, the judges, sponsors and “everyone who made the awards so special”.
