Madrid in Winter
Monday, December 8th, 2008
Sue and I recently visited Sistemas in Spain, we were made really welcome. Its always great to see how customers use our products, but we were overwhelmed by the different way Rafael, Pepe and the team use the products to their best. They are very similar in their approach to many sign companies here, and really focus on good design for their customers. I’m going to put a few on the flckr site for you to peruse.
Whilst we were over there it was pretty cold - headline news that Madrid was colder than Helsinki, Sue had to wear about thirty layers to keep her warm (that was just in bed!). There is also a very different work ethic in Spain; they start work about 9.00am and work through till about 2.30 when they have lunch, which lasts for about 2+ hours, they then work to about 7 - 7.30pm. All of it done in a very relaxed and friendly manner.
We’re now looking forward for them to come and visit us next summer - hopefully the weather will be better!
