The Salamanca Confederation of Business Owners (CES, Confederación de Empresarios de Salamanca) today awarded the 2nd Award to the Business Owner of the Year to Mar Olmedo, CEO of Transformadores Gedelsa, a company dedicated to the energy sector. In addition, the institution has awarded prizes for Entrepreneurship, Professional Career and the Company best valued by the people of Salamanca. These awards are sponsored for the second consecutive year by Unicaja.

 

The award ceremony, held in the Aula Cultural de Unicaja, was attended by the Mayor of Salamanca, Carlos García Carbayo; the Regional Minister of Industry, Trade and Employment, Leticia García; and the President of the Provincial Council, Javier Iglesias, among others, as well as by a large representation of the business world. On behalf of Unicaja, Manuel Rubio, regional manager of Castilla y León Sur, presented one of the awards.

 

The president of CES, Antonio Rollán, has highlighted the relevance of the business fabric of the city and the province, referring to companies as “the main engine for everything to work, and entrepreneurs as the essential muscle for the generation of employment and wealth in the country”.

 

The 2nd Award to the Business Owner of the Year went to Mar Olmedo, for her involvement and high commitment to her environment and the Salamanca society, and her great work within Transformadores Gedelsa. She is part of the third generation of this family business, founded by her grandfather more than 65 years ago, dedicated to the manufacture and repair of distribution and power transformers, mainly for electric companies.

 

In this second edition, CES has also awarded La Carnicería de Salamanca in the category of Business Initiative. A century-old family business founded in 1890 in Peñaranda de Bracamonte by the great-grandparents of María and Estefanía Hernández, who are currently in charge of managing it, and which has made the leap to the whole of Spain through the Internet.

 

In the Professional Career category, the award went to Paulina Andrés, after 65 years behind the stoves of the Río de la Plata restaurant. In 2022, at the age of 86, she said goodbye to the kitchen of the restaurant she founded with her parents and her brother Rafael.
