Ayesa, a global provider of technology and engineering services, has been recognized as the Best Ambassador Company of Southern Spain at the sixth edition of the Southern Spain Business Awards (Premios PEC), organized by the Círculo de Empresarios del Sur de España (CESUR). The award was accepted by José Luis Manzanares Abásolo, CEO of the company, during a ceremony held yesterday at the López de Ayala Theatre in Badajoz.

More than 300 attendees, including institutional representatives, presidents, and CEOs of leading companies from Andalusia and Extremadura, gathered for the gala, which featured HRH Infanta Doña Elena as guest of honor.

The recognition awarded to Ayesa highlights its contribution to positioning Southern Spain as a national and international business benchmark. Headquartered in Seville, the company has maintained a consistent growth trajectory and a strong global presence.

José Luis Manzanares emphasized Ayesa’s resilience and ability to overcome adversity as key factors behind its success: “We have undergone a transformation at all levels that has placed us among the top five digital service providers in Spain, while continuing to be one of the most internationally recognized engineering firms.”

During the gala, CESUR also honored other key figures and initiatives in the business landscape, including Diamond Foundry, for its investment in the South through its facility in Trujillo; Borja Vázquez, President of Scalpers, as Best Executive Ambassador of Southern Spain; CoverManager, as Best Entrepreneurial Initiative in Southern Spain; and former NBA and Olympic player José Manuel Calderón, as Best Universal Ambassador of Southern Spain.
