Business in Spain, and particularly the visibility of business in Spain, is dominated by the large financial – and other sector – corporations based in Madrid and Barcelona, and quoted on the IBEX stock exchange. However, many other businesses remain in private hands and are based far from the regional capitals that are the focus and representation of successful organisations in Spain.

Our guest speakers President of Zamora Company José María de Santiago and Juan Miguel Pérez Ilzarbe, former International Director of premium gin brand Puerto de Indias will talk about all of these elements on their road to growth and success. They will speak of their beginnings, their trials and tribulations and their ultimate lessons for doing business in Spain and internationally, no matter where you are from within the country.

These companies have grown from humble roots to becoming export success stories for those who have had the privilege to come across them, their leaders and their great products.

But building a successful business in Spain – or anywhere else – requires a combination of many
aspects:
 Talent
 Risk
 Vision and an innovative spirit
 Focus
 Tenacity
 Passion for their business and their product
 Dedication
 A dose of luck and a break

Join us to hear from José María and Juan Miguel as they share their journeys of navigating the pitfalls of business and making the most of unexpected opportunities.

Following the talk there will be time for Q&As and open networking over drinks and nibbles.

The event will be hosted by international business leader Jonathan Stordy, board advisor to both Zamora Group and Puerto de Indias, and BritishSpanish Society trustee Brian Douglas
