Upon receiving the award, the CEO of Cellnex Tobías Martínez, said: “We are very honoured to receive the Award from the Federation of Chambers of Commerce in recognition of Cellnex’s growth since its IPO in 2015. Cellnex has grown substantially, from operating in Spain to being active in twelve countries in Europe. One of the keys to this growth has been the successful integration of acquisitions in the different countries. In each country, we have always felt supported by the relevant business Chambers, who have been key in helping us to make important contact with, and become integrated into, the economic, business and cultural communities in each country.”

The President of FEDECOM and the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom, Eduardo Barrachina, welcomed guests to the reception and stated: “With a strategic and sustainable approach, Cellnex is leading the digital transformation in Europe.”

Barrachina also highlighted: “But Cellnex is not only about telecommunications, G5, broadband and cellular sites. It has a very human side. It is a company strongly committed to human rights, both in the Cellnex group and among its stakeholders”, adding: “Only hard work, common sense, the right talent, ethical management, social values. cultural awareness and employees diversity can explain that a company like CELLNEX reaches these astonishing levels of market penetration in many European countries.”
