Optimising the financial management of a company is a key factor to improve its profitability. And so it was explained today by the Economic and Financial Director of Andamur, Mr. Bartolomé Benítez, at the event “SMEs DNA Murcia: Boundless growth and development”. This event was held in the city of Murcia and gathered different companies aiming to share financial, marketing and sales strategies for their growth and development.  

Mr. Bartolomé Benítez talked about Andamur’s evolution in its 30 years of activity and about how good financial management was essential to our development as a company. At Andamur, we started with one petrol station and now we have 160 own and associated stations across Europe.

Among other key aspects, Andamur’s Financial Director explained that the economic and financial management aim is to maximise the value of the company, and how it is impossible to take good decisions that make the business profitable without adopting an adequate economic and financial approach.

The event “SMEs DNA Murcia: Boundless growth and development” is part of a road show organised by the business platform La Neurona which is visiting 19 Spanish cities analysing the challenges SMEs are facing. Together with Andamur, the event was attended by the Territory Manager of Bankia for Murcia and Alicante, Olga García; the Financial Director of Somium, Javier Gayá, and the Sales Manager of Correos Express in the Spanish Eastern coast, Sergio Ramón Siles, among other.  

 

At Andamur, we have become active members of the Spanish Association for Quality, one of the most important quality associations in Spain gathering over 1700 companies in different sectors and with more than 50 years of experience.

 

By joining AEC, Andamur aims to stay at the forefront of Quality Standards, as well as regarding Customer Experience, Information Systems and Technologies, Innovation and Occupational Risk Prevention. In addition, being part of AEC will give us the opportunity of taking part in specific committees addressing the latest relevant trends, tools and information in our sector.

 

One of Andamur’s first actions as new member will be the creation of a Total Quality Management System Plan, already in progress, in order to be granted two important certifications in the next few months: Service quality for small retail trade (UNE 175001-6) and Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001:2015).

 

The Spanish Association for Quality has been working since 1961 for companies to introduce this important concept as a strategic element, and through an integrating approach apply it to all the pillars of their respective businesses. At Andamur, we are aware of the fact that Quality is going through a transformation process to manage to adapt itself to new customer’s needs, technology and the important role that companies shall play within their community. To this end, we want to continue strengthening our commitment to quality, adapting ourselves to the new challenges and following the latest trends to be better every day.
