Actavis Marketing and Sales Office awarded – Architectural Heritage award
Din l-Art Ħelwa (DLĦ) announced last Friday its Architectural Heritage awards in Category B for Rehabilitation and re-use to Villa Aspinall in Tarxien. This is an initiative taken by the organisation to encourage architectural excellence in the Maltese context, the rehabilitation and reuse of old buildings, and the recognition of the dedicated work of those active in the field of restoration.
Culture Parliamentary Secretary Mario de Marco presented the first prize to architect Aaron Abela for his restoration of Villa Aspinall in Tarxien. The judging panel considered this rehabilitation, which was completed within a very limited budget, to be most deserving of recognition, as the preservation and rehabilitation were well thought out and most sensitively executed. No structural interventions were made to this lovely 19th century villa, which is now converted to a fully functioning office for the Actavis Marketing and Sales (M&S) Division.
The M&S division in Malta is responsible for the Africa Region consisting of North, Central, West and South Africa, Cyprus, Israel, Malta and Mauritius.
Actavis M&S is a subsidiary of the Actavis Group, one of the world's leading players in the development, manufacture, and sale of first-class generic pharmaceuticals. Actavis operates in more than 40 countries around the globe.
