Andalusia is the land of brave entrepreneurs and self-employed workers. The creation of a new company is always good news, even more if it brings out the best of UK and Andalusia, reinforcing alliances between them. I want to welcome you and I hope you to be the reference of entrepreneurs from both countries.
8.000 Britons are already registered as self-employed workers in Andalusia. Thousand of companies maintain close and direct commercial relationships with other companies and clients from both shores: Spain and UK. You still have a long way to go. It will not be easy. We are living in difficult times. Anyway, I would like to express, as President of ATA Federation, my full support for achieving your goals.
