As a company connected to the building industry, we place special emphasis on the rate of work related accidents which is practically zero.
During the past five years, the Group has experienced constant growth, investing the synergy of each of its companies to achieve a position in each of the sectors they operate in, in order to assure their feasibility. This way of managing both the financial and human resources of the Group has allowed them experience on-going growth, continuing to specialize in land development and residential building, while strengthening its capacity in other markets such as those of primary residences, services, real estate, hotels or and technology.
Aifos development has also taken on a strongly marked worldwide scope and has branches in cities such as London, Manchester and Dublin.
Throughout this time, Aifos has also established relations with other partners, whilst at the time of sharing experiences and criteria to get and important projects started, which require them to go farther than anyone could go on their own. With the strategy in place, the planning for the coming years and with the present results, Aifos is considered to be a leading developer and construction company in the sector, specialised in high quality Residential Tourism.
The division of Aifos hotels is in the market under the brand name Gvadalpín and is until today in charge of the management of two hotels which have already become a reference for service and gastronomy on the] Costa del Sol: Gran Hotel Gvadalpin Marbella and Gran Hotel Gvadalpin Banus, which was inaugurated in March 2005. The Group has also acquired the most significant and luxurious Hotel Gran Lujo on the Andalusian Coast, the Byblos Andaluz which has been renamed as Byblos Gvadalpin. The managing of the hotels consists of selling the apartments as a property, providing the purchaser with the opportunity of profiting from the exclusive services that a five star hotel offers and the possibility of renting their apartment for their own financial gain. This concept allows Aifos to draw up the development and sales of apartments together with the hotel management, establishing a high quality hotel product which is not dependent on the seasonal rotation of this sector while assuring the client an excellent service.
Turning to the subject of management and administration, the company stands out in different aspects, such as its policy of “internalization” of human resources, which guarantees minimal dependence on out-contracting and provides it with a constant and permanent increase of the numbers and labour stability of its employees.
