The event was attended by the Group’s CEO, Morten Rud Pedersen, who highlighted the strategic importance of Madrid within the firm’s European network. Also in attendance were the managing directors of Rud Pedersen’s main European offices, who came together to emphasize the strategic relevance of the Spanish market for the future of the Group.
