Bosh Gutiérrez is part of the third generation in charge of the family business. "My grandfather had a true devotion to spending time with his grandchildren. As we grew up and learned to drive, there was always one of us acting as his chauffeur, his secretary, and he always talked to us about principles. He used to say that one should go to work content, but when one leaves, one should be happy, happy, happy. In his honor, we've devised the acronym REÍR, which defines the values of both the family and the company," he expressed in the publication of the book "The essence of the family business" in 2019.[8]
