Petr Králík from Seves Glass Block announced as TOP CEO 2024
On Monday, 2 December, the 3rd annual award ceremony of the prestigious TOP Most Successful Women and Men awards of CEO magazine, which is part of the portfolio of the A11 media group, took place. The gala evening brought inspiring stories of ten personalities from various fields whose achievements influence not only the business environment but also the whole society. Among the honorees was also Petr Králík, CEO of Seves Glass Block, which has been part of the Progresus Group since this July.
"Seves Glass Block has had a difficult few years, during which it was still subject to insolvency proceedings under the name Vitrablok. I am glad that with the acquisition by the Progresus group we have overcome a period of great uncertainty and fears about the future of the company and its employees and that a number of new business opportunities are opening up for us," says Petr Králík, who unfortunately could not attend the gala in person due to work commitments in Duchcov in North Bohemia. "I see the award as a success for the whole team, for all the employees who have stood by Seves Glass Block in the past difficult times," he adds.
The announcement of this year's most successful men and women was preceded by a debate on the topic of investment policy and development in the regions, which was also attended by Martin Skalický, the chairman of our group's consulting team. The panel provided valuable insights into current trends in regional economic development, property development and housing. "Real estate development not only in the regions is very sensitive to balancing the interests of municipalities, cities, citizens and incoming developers. Increasingly, we are encountering the NIMBY - not in my backyard - phenomenon, i.e. a situation where, as a rule, new residents of the initial phases of residential development often block further development, fearing the disturbance of peace and privacy in their new homes," says Martin Skalický, who names an important aspect of development and offers a way to prevent this frequent complication of new development projects: "The solution can be well-developed strategic plans and plans for the development of towns and villages, but above all a timely and professionally organised debate between all stakeholders. Building technologies that reduce the burden of construction activities on the immediate surroundings also play an important role. In particular, it is possible to highlight wooden buildings, where the majority of the technological process of construction takes place in production halls and the time of completion of the building is then reduced to weeks on the construction site."
