South Africa played host to the first Global Awards Ceremony.
The Global Sourcing Association (GSA) formally announced the winners of the first GSA Global Sourcing Awards on Tuesday October 2nd at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in South Africa.
Following a hugely successful conference with Trevor Manuel, Special Envoy for Investment, Patricia de Lille, Executive Mayor for Cape Town and Zondwa Mandela, Founder of the Mandela Legacy Foundation stealing the plaudits from a stellar speaker line up, the awards were announced in front of 250 leading sourcing practitioners from around the world.
Kerry Hallard, President of the Global Sourcing Association said “Congratulations to all of those shortlisted and to all of the winners.
