Virgo Communications recently received a prestigious ADDY Award for interactive HTML website design for its work on the development of www.thegreathouserestaurant.com. The Barbados based agency worked on all aspects of the site including conception, branding including the new logo, design and programming.

The awarded website is for The Great House, a lovely restaurant in Cap Estate, St. Lucia known for its spectacular views of the ocean. According to Ayanna Victorin, the Account Manager at Virgo Communications who oversaw the project, “The restaurant is a sophisticated blend of modern and traditional, and we wanted the website to reflect that combination. We believe this was achieved and are thrilled to have the quality of our work acknowledged.”

Emma Saba, Virgo’s Creative Director said, “I am very proud of the team. Our Interactive/Web department has now been recognised each and every year since we added the department, and continues to go from strength to strength. Our clients have really benefited from working with a team that understands the bigger picture in terms of their overall brands.”

The British High Commission teamed up with The Future Centre Trust to officially launch Green Business Barbados at the residence of the British High Commissioner, Paul Brummel. The British High Commission in conjunction with the Future Centre Trust kicked off the event with a lovely reception. The event, which officially signalled the establishment of the Green Business Barbados program, outlined the Future Centre’s objective to stimulate awareness amongst the local business community and encourage organizations and individuals to become more environmentally responsible.

Virgo Communications, designers of the Green Business Barbados logo, was in on the festivities and had the opportunity to mingle and network with some with some of the individuals who played an important role in getting this program up off the ground and running, including the High Commissioner himself (pictured above).  Highlights of the night were The High Commissioner’s speech and official welcome to the guests, and a presentation  made by Nicole Garofano – Chief Administrator of The Future Centre Trust. Lani Edghill – Project Manager of the Green Business Barbados project also made a brief speech to those in attendance and expressed her deep gratitude to the High Commission’s contribution and support of their initiative.  Fun indeed!!!
