Juan Antonio García Solano, Managing Director of Techno Pro Hispania, answered some questions and revealed the 2020 balance sheet and 2021 prospects of the Spanish entity.
What are the achievements of the year 2020 for Techno Pro Hispania?
« As you know, 2020 has been a special and difficult year to manage, but it is important to highlight the successes of Techno Pro Hispania. First of all, we managed to adapt quickly and efficiently to the situation. Teleworking was something new for us and the main challenge was to know if we were going to be productive in this situation so that we could meet the deadlines of the ongoing projects. The adaptation was not easy, but in the end, everyone managed to adapt their work and achieve their goals. The second success was not only to maintain our business volume but also to have managed to sign important long-term contracts. This will allow us to be a little more serene for 2021, which I think will be an equally complicated year.»
How did Techno Pro Hispania manage to overcome the health crisis?
« With the best possible organization and great motivation I would say. We had to react quickly and find a new work organization to continue our activities. All this organization was possible thanks to the important and remarkable work of our IT department. The fact that we have these skills in-house enabled us to work remotely in good conditions. The whole agency was able to adapt perfectly and I congratulate them for that! In spite of teleworking, we managed to have good team communication and to deliver quality deliverables within the clients’ deadlines. In fact, we are going to continue teleworking until the summer in order to continue to protect the health of our employees. »
What are the 2021 objectives?
« Even if the global context and that in Spain is characterized by great uncertainty and it is therefore difficult to define clear objectives, we still have some for 2021. The first is to finalize the various important projects for which we have already started to work. We make it a point of honor to meet the deadlines and to continue to offer our clients quality services. The second is to accompany our clients in their new projects, including the new F-110 frigates for the Spanish Army, the BAM IS for the Spanish Navy, the oceanic surveillance ship for Morocco, and the new opportunities for the S80. Finally, it is important to become familiar with new technologies that can bring us new business opportunities. If we are not prepared we will not be able to respond to them and it would be a pity to miss new contracts. I know that I can count on the motivation and skills of Techno Pro Hispania’s employees to meet the challenges of 2021.»
