“We are a family business, and we are rapidly scaling within the traditional holiday rental market in Spain. At some point, we set out to reflect and, as we are both proud of our team and our values, we also realised that better practices and new processes could be implemented to improve the efficiency and performance of the team.
From the offset, Ivan and the AJL Atelier team first highlighted our strengths and weaknesses, but also those of the Fidalsa brand.
