Malaga boss awarded by DiCaprio for looking after staff

How would you like to work for a company that pays you five days salary for working a four-day week?

If that sounds good! How about throwing in a free breakfast and time at the gym during your lunch break?

Add to this all-expense paid staff holidays and you would be forgiven for thinking you had landed the dream job.

Those are just some of the perks offered by Pursuit Marketing, a successful UK company that has just opened an office in Torremolinos.

The fact that Malaga had young talented people available was also a draw to the region. “Malaga has the biggest output of technology graduates which can only be positive for the growth of our business and that of our clients”

The company was keen to stress that while 50 of their employee’s will be Spanish they will also hiring talented people from around the world.
