The difficult times which the world has faced has no negative impact on our work. The reputation we have earned for decades of perfect work help us now remain the leading design & fit-out company in the market with more orders and new projects.

Has it changed your outlook? Yes, new conditions placed by ourselves or by force are always an opportunity to reconsider the way to see life and work. I have become more aware of how valuable for my life and my job are because when a lot of people were out of work, our company didn’t close down for a day. Even in lockdown my employees and I have continued to work, in order to realise the dreams of our clients.
