Xàbia supports local businesses with special gala event
Four companies were honoured for such categories as ‘use of new technologies’, ‘sustainable trade’, and ‘new trade’.
On Friday night, Xàbia held a special ‘Commerce Gala Night’, an event that brought together local businesses, authorities and residents in an emotional evening dedicated to recognizing the effort and dedication of the town’s commercial sector, standing out for its support of the local economy and for highlighting the role of small businesses in the life of the municipality.
During the gala, several awards were given out that recognized the trajectory, technological adaptation, sustainability and commitment to new businesses in Xàbia. The award for Business Career went to Silvasol, a company noted for its constant dedication and commitment to the town. In the category of Digitalization and Use of New Technologies, the award went to Lola Torero, who has managed to integrate digital innovation into her business, offering a modern and efficient service to her customers.
The Sustainable Trade Award was given to Boutiqueria & Co, a business that has demonstrated its commitment to the environment through sustainable and responsible practices. Finally, the New Trade Award went to Atelier del Mar, a young business that has brought fresh air and innovative ideas to the commercial fabric of Xàbia.
The Xàbia Commerce Gala Night has become an essential annual event, not only to reward the best businesses, but also to highlight the importance of local business. Mayor Rosa Cardona explained that “local businesses in Xàbia are much more than [that]; they are the ones who keep the pulse of our municipality alive. They are places where human relations are more important than economic transactions, where close contact and mutual knowledge become the true values that unite us. When we enter a local business, we do not only acquire a product or a service, but we enter an essential part of our social and economic fabric, and that is what makes Xàbia a special place.”
The councillor responsible for Commerce, Juanlu Cardona, underlined the capacity for adaptation and innovation of local commerce, especially in a context where digitalisation and sustainability play a key role. “Our businesses have been able to adapt to the new times, offering quality products and services that strengthen the social and economic fabric of our municipality“.
The gala concluded with a thank you to all the businesses and attendees for their participation in this celebration, stressing that commerce in Xàbia has a promising future thanks to the involvement of all its stakeholders. The evening ended in an atmosphere of optimism, with the hope of continuing to strengthen local commerce and making Xàbia a prosperous place full of opportunities.
