The Business Association’s stand at this year’s festival, held in Sabinillas, proved a great success with members taking the opportunity to promote their businesses as well as raising awareness of the Association and its aims during the three days of festivities.
As part of ACEMCE’s commitment to collaboration and support they were proud to contribute to the success of the International Festival with the sponsorship of the appearance by the Gibraltar Sea Scout Pipe Band, who proved very popular with visitors to the Festival.
ACEMCE is currently putting together an extensive programme of workshops, networking meetings and other events.
