For this edition of the Symposium, once again Guido Bernardinelli was invited to share with the audience how he, as CEO of the company – along with his newly formed management team – have contributed to “turning a small, underdog cult player from Florence into a fast growing and successful traditional coffee equipment brand known the world over.”
Last but not least, the Florentine manufacturer received the “Best Equipment Supplier – Europe award”.
Guido Bernardinelli, CEO, and respectively La Marzocco Spain’s and UK & Ireland’s Managing Directors, Valter Chiriacò, and Paul Kelly, were present during the awards ceremony and proudly accepted the prize on behalf of global staff and partners worldwide.
Now in its fourteenth edition, this exclusive gathering by Allegra provides a mix of fresh market insights and networking opportunities for world-class executives from across the coffee shop, food-to-go, and food service landscape, while celebrating outstanding achievements in the European coffee industry.
