Czech Republic Continues
to Attract New Investment
Prague — A recent survey by Ernst & Young shows that in
2011 the Czech Republic attracted more new investment
projects than in the years preceding the economic crisis.
This is in large part due to the country’s strong
fundamentals: a highly educated workforce, competitive
wage costs, advanced infrastructure, strategic position,
and cost-effectiveness compared to Western Europe.
According to the report, the Czech Republic ranks among
the world’s top 20 countries in terms of attractiveness for
investors.

CTP management wishes to congratulate
Radka Veletová and Tomáš Kult on a major
milestone—both are celebrating their
ten-year anniversary working for CTP!
Tomáš Kult
Senior Construction Manager
Radka Veletová
Office Manager
As Senior Construction Manager,
Tomáš Kult has overseen the
construction of more square
metres of A-class properties
than even he can keep track of.
Tomáš joined CTP with a strong
background in construction
management and has become,
over the years, something of a
legendary figure on the Czech
construction scene.
Radka Veletová was one of
the first people to join CTP. As
personal assistant (and right
hand) to the CEO, Radka has
been on the “frontline” of CTP’s
growth from day one. Without
her amazing organisational
skills, endless patience and
ever-present smile, it is safe to
say that CTP would not be the
success that it is today.
