The group’s Chief Financial Officer, Antonio Rubió, and the Finance Manager, Antonio de Luna, received the prize that accredited them as finalists.

The panel noted the efforts towards adaptation and the efficiency of Fluidra’s Department of Finance through the various stages of preparation for the company’s emergence on the exchange. Fluidra began trading this past 31 October.

The panel members were: Juan E.
