Attendees at Capacity Africa 2016 packed the room on the 27th September to hear the winners being announced.
Speaking at the event Bill Boyle, managing editor of Capacity, said: “The standard of the shortlist and the quality of the winners was exceptionally high. I would like to thank the judging panel for their tremendous work in professionally and methodically going through all of the entries. Even before the nominations close we had over seventy entries and they were of a very high standard.
“We are delighted that the entrants, shortlisted organisations and winners have set the bar so high for the first Capacity Africa Awards event – this ensures that the wholesale industry will have to work hard to innovate to improve on this year’s list of esteemed winners. We look forward to next year’s event and all of the transformative ideas it will bring.”
