Mr Philip Paddack, COO – UK and Head of Clients – Europe Corporate & Investment Banking from BBVA, received the award on behalf of the company and conveyed his gratitude, expressing also what an important year 2013 is for the bank as it marks the 95th anniversary of the first branch they opened abroad.

During his speech, the President of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain, Mr. Javier Fernández, pointed out the relevant role BBVA has played in furthering business relations between Spanish and British markets.
