Ronald Attard, EY Malta's Country Managing Partner, said: "This year's winners are exceptional, have surpassed all expectations, and both build local success stories from the ground up. Mark has been championing the environment for many years' and therefore great to see his hard work pay off, which in the end is of ben- efit to us all. Krystle's story is eye-opening, and many local artists and creators will draw inspiration from her, especial- ly as her products are heavi- ly influenced by our very own Maltese heritage. Finally, a big congratulations to all the 2022 finalists whose determination and perseverance has brought them so far! Good luck to Mark and Krystle in Monaco!" Kevin Mallia, EY Malta Con- sulting Lead and EOY Program Lead, said: "It is truly incred- ible that even as we enter the 5th edition of the EOY award, the quality and depth of entre- preneurship shows no signs of abating. The 2022 winners will make all Maltese proud as they compete in EY's World Entre- preneur of the Year™ next June. The independent panel of judg- es must also be commended for their work in selecting our 2022 winners, which amongst such an accomplished group is no easy task." maltatoday | SUNDAY • 27 FEBRUARY 2022 14 CLASSIFIEDS COMMERCIAL HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION MARSALFORN, Gozo - holiday apart- ments for short or long lets with mag- nificent sea-views.
