After the speech of Karel, the Manager of Holland House Mexico Carin Verbree started by announcing the 3rd place of the HHM Entrepreneur of the year award first.

This was Marc Wehmeijer with his company ThinkTim! and afterwards Lia already started feeling nervous, since she knew that she had a chance of becoming the HHM Entrepreneur of the year 2021.

The winner then was announced and it was.... Lia Bijnsdorp with her company United Producers Of Mexico! She could not believe what she heard, and was filled with joy and happiness.

This means that the second place went to Zohar Timmerman Cruz Perrera and her company MexNed servicio de limpieza, also this was of course an amazing result!
