Cruz de Oficial Award for Anna Watkins, MD of Barrafina Group
Huge congratulations to Anna Watkins on receiving one of Spain's highest civil honours. Anna, Managing Director of Barrafina Group and Director of Harts Group, has been awarded the Cruz de Oficial de la Orden de Isabel la Católica in recognition of her outstanding contribution to championing Spanish culture and cuisine on the international stage. From building lasting relationships with regional producers and bringing some of Spain's most exciting chefs to London through Barrafina Invita, to leading Barrafina's first international opening in Dubai earlier this year – this moment reflects not just Anna's leadership, but the passion and dedication of the entire team. Presented at the Spanish Embassy in London yesterday evening and celebrated alongside friends, family and the Barrafina team, this honour recognises a longstanding commitment to sharing the richness, diversity and generosity of Spanish hospitality.
