☀️ It’s summer party season at RELEX - and that means it’s time to celebrate the wins, the teamwork, and simply being together. Our teams from Spain, Italy, and France met up in the stunning Veneto region in northern Italy for a cross-country get-together that was equal parts fun and team spirit. The day kicked off on the water, with everyone literally rowing in the same direction - courtesy of Dragonboat races. SUP, idrobike, and canoes added to the splashy fun - no pressure, just pure enjoyment. 🌊 After working up an appetite, the group gathered for a lakeside dinner with a view worth raising a glass to. And of course, no RELEX party is complete without a bit of dancing - this time, under the stars with a flower-themed DJ party at Le Bandie Lake. 🌸🎶 #LifeAtRELEX #SummerParty #TeamSpirit
