“Allow me to express my gratitude to the members of the Board of Directors for the high confidence they have shown me with this election. I accept the chairmanship as a recognition of the uncompromising standards I impose in my work, but at the same time as a long-term commitment to the Hellenic Business Council’s vision and goals for development, and to each of its members. I promise that I will continue the vigorous activity of the organization to stimulate the fruitful dialogue between institutions and businesses, for the successful implementation of the best trade and business practices, so that we continue to contribute to the stable economic development in our country and to the maintenance of good relations with our partners", those were the words Mrs. Petia Dimitrova addressed the attendees.

Hellenic Business Council in Bulgaria is one of the most important business organizations in the country with hundreds of members of leading Bulgarian companies as well as all country representatives of Greek and Cypriot businesses.

The chairmanship of Mrs. Dimitrova is not only a recognition of the uncompromising standards she imposes in her work but also a great honor for Postbank as a trusted and reliable business partner. It took place just a few days after Postbank was distinguished as a Top Employer in Bulgaria with a certificate from the international independent Top Employers Institute. The award is given for its innovative vision and high standards in implementing globally recognized employer practices in human resource management, care for people, working conditions, employee personal and professional development programs, among others.
