The Irish property investment group West Incorporated won first prize at the fourth annual national Office of the Year competition, held by Office Magazine on March 20 at the Bulgarian news agency (BTA) press club. A total of 62 companies and organisations from all over Bulgaria entered the keenly disputed competition, which was awarded to Benen Tierney, West Incorporated’s sales manager, who accepted it on the company's behalf.
“As an Irish company, we are very honoured to receive this high distinction for our Sofia office, particularly when it comes from such a prominent jury,” Tierney said on receiving the prize.
Our office in Sofia reflects the company’s corporate identity and values. It professes a long-term commitment to the Bulgarian market, our employees, clients and projects in the country, he said.
The office, on the third floor of the Bulgaria Business Centre at 146 Vitosha Blvd, occupies 700 sq m and boasts a spacious reception chamber, eight offices, two conference halls, five bathrooms, a large terrace and a showroom apartment, serving as an exhibition sample for customers, as well as a recreation area for staff.
The office of the West Incorporated group of companies was bought in 2005 and was officially inaugurated on April 13 2005 by the Irish ambassador to Bulgaria.
Investment in buying and furnishing of the office totals several million euro and the interior design is elaborated by FORMA C company and designer Stiliyan Dichev.
