Over one hundred of the Fluidra group's senior management join forces to renovate a school

Over one hundred senior managers from Fluidra, the Spanish listed multinational
group devoted to developing applications for the sustainable use of water, took part in
the makeover of the school during the annual convention held in Barcelona last week.
This act of solidarity took place in the El Pedrenyal Residential School for Intensive
Education in Santa Maria de Palautordera (Barcelona). Doing something for the
benefit of the community gave Fluidra's senior managers an opportunity to strengthen
ties and contributed to their motivation.
The hundred or so senior managers, from the 36 countries in which the multinational
operates, met in Barcelona to share their ideas on the new projects the group is
preparing and devise a common strategy for the years to come based on
internationalisation, efficiency, innovation and diversification. A day was set aside
during the annual meeting to work on the makeover of El Pedrenyal School, which has
an intake of around 20 teenagers of between 12 and 18 years of age.
Divided into 11 groups, the managers painted the school's classrooms, and its outside
walls and fences, put the garden into shape and planted trees, and created a play
area. In addition, the group has made a firm commitment to installing an above ground
swimming pool by the summer.
The school's director, Josep Maria Hernández, and the technical coordinator of the
Resilis Foundation, David Ruiz, as well as the pupils from the school, also lent a hand
in the makeover. In the opinion of Eloi Planes, Fluidra's CEO, “The result of this event was
extraordinary. It was truly moving to see how enthusiastic the hundred or so people of
different nationalities were in working together for the benefit of the community, and
the warm welcome given to us by the school's pupils, with whom we shared this day".
