FIRST PERSON PERSPECTIVE: 17 YEARS WITH US

I joined FCC as Chief Accountant in 1998. At that time the Aguas de FCC company, Seragua was very tiny compared to what
is now Aqualia. We were like a small family.

Personally, I reckon the year of the big change was 2004, when I went to take care of Management Control of the City Centre
area. I remember those years fondly, because the atmosphere at work was excellent and the relationship between the work
mates was brilliant. They were years of hard work, many trips and meetings, where I learned a lot about the business and in
which I got to meet many colleagues from different workplaces, most of which were superbly professional and very friendly
and hospitable people. The truth is that it is a pleasure to visit the contracts and delegations of Aqualia, as well as receiving
excellent treatment and learning a lot, you have a chance to get to know other points of views about the business. Currently,
since March 2014, I work in the offices of Las Tablas in Central Services, and for me this has been a very rewarding time
period because it is allowing me to see the business as a whole, both nationally and internationally.

Since 2000, that kind of “year zero” for what is today Aqualia, business growth has been exponential. These fifteen years
have brought many changes, during which we had to go constantly adapting to a dynamic and competitive environment,
in order to be able to respond to different challenges that have been arising, which has been increasingly more important.
I honestly believe that the work we have performed as Aqualia workers has been very good at all levels, all of us together
have ensured that the company has a good standing in its sector, as a benchmark at the global level.
