As an organisation that strives to take good care of its clients and its own people, we recently celebrated our annual team gathering alongside all of our teams (PaygOps, Bridgin, SolarisLab) in Barcelona, Spain, where we spent an entire week full of knowledge sharing, cultural awareness, innovation, amazing dance moves, good food and great team spirit.
