Danish engineering company BIIR was named “Conscientious Taxpayer of 2018” by the Ukrainian Taxpayers Association.

Danish engineering company BIIR was named “Conscientious Taxpayer of 2018” by the Ukrainian Taxpayers Association. Last year, BIIR won international attention for its determined defense against a raider attempt to seize the site of its future Ukraine headquarters, a site overlooking Odesa Port. On winning the award, Thomas Sillesen, BIIR Group chairman, says: “It’s funny, but in Denmark we 100% follow all the rules as well, but nobody gives us any awards for this.” Started in Luhansk in 2013, BIIR’s Ukraine operation works on engineering projects for Danish companies, many in the wind and renewable energy sector. With 130 employees now, BIIR plans to have 500 employees working in its Odesa headquarters in 2022.
