The sunny Saturday 18th of May gathered members of FBN Bulgaria for a series of visits to family businesses of member companies of the Association in the city of Sofia.
More than 30 participants - representatives of three generations in the families that are members of the organisation - responded to the invitation for a rich and extremely interesting day of meetings.

The morning began with a warm welcome to the Armyanovi family at the central office of "Tangra - AV" Ltd. The company specializes in the field of ventilation, air conditioning and heating technology, and its presentation to the guests was an impressive example of the effective teamwork of two generations - the creator of "Tangra - AV" Eng. Yuliy Armyanov spoke briefly about the start of the company, and his son Ivan Armyanov, commercial director, emphasized both the company's current business successes and important facts about the meaning and necessity of energy efficiency. The presentation was followed by a tour of the enterprise, which offered the guests a unique opportunity to get to know the specifics of production.

The Saturday program continued with a test drive of Mercedes-Benz car models, organized by "Silver Star Motors" EAD - a partner of FBN Bulgaria.

One of the newest members of the Association, the Stanimirovi family, awaited the participants for a sophisticated and delicious lunch at one of the restaurants of "Rene Gourmet Group" - Cinecitta Osteria Italiana in Boyana district. Victoria Stanimirova, second generation in the family business, presented the long history of the group and its successes in the restaurant business.

The visit to family businesses ended with a visit to the Radevi family, members of the Association with "RiKO" AD. The representatives of the second generation welcomed the guests on the territory of one of the holdings co-owned by the family - "Euromarket Group" JSC. In an inspiring presentation, Anton Radev and Georgi Radev told the story of the family business and the host company - a leader in the sale and service of industrial, mining and construction equipment.
