Entrepreneur The founder of Seur: millionaire, widower, 95 years old ... and looking for a partner
He was born poor
in Montcada and Reixac (Barcelona) and has left this world being a
millionaire
.
Justo Yúfera, founder of
Seur
together with Jorge Fernández Mata in 1942, died on November 7 at the (almost) unattainable age of
100 years.
Despite having had a difficult childhood and adolescence after
emigrating
to France, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, he put the world as a hunt.
He was a self-made man.
After looking for the beans as
a pastry chef's assistant,
in forestry operations, in his mother's hairdresser and even in a bicycle shop that he opened in Barcelona, he decided to materialize the idea of setting up
a courier company.
The germ was Urgent Shipping Service.
Yúfera was the first to set an example.
He became
the first delivery man
when he sent the
first express package from Madrid to Barcelona,
which was his first commercial route.
His great business vision made him gradually
expand
throughout Spain and Portugal.
One of the key men so that in the 80s it was the most successful company in the sector was
his son-in-law, Ramón Mayo,
who suggested the idea of opening at noon so that the small businesses that closed for lunch could do their efforts.
It ate the competition.

True to
her sense of humor,
at the age of 95 she published an ad in a newspaper to find a partner.
In 2008 he was
widowed
by his wife, María Recuenco, with whom he had
two children,
Luis, born in 1945 who died a few years ago, and Leonor, born in 1950. So far from living alone, he wanted to seek the company of a female .
Of course, he had put a condition.
He should not exceed 50 years
or have family charges.
Ready in business and in love.
During that time he was aware that
they wanted him for the money,
but he didn't care.
One of his loves, Pilar, came to buy a chalet in Arenys de Mar (Barcelona) and a flat in Barcelona.
When LOC contacted him five years ago to see how the search was going, he commented with a sense of humor: "Fatal. I don't know for what reason, but all those who
called me were old women.
Some real old women. Come on, 66 or 68 years old. You'll tell me. "
With
the 47-year-old girl
who supposedly had fallen in love with him, he explained that "when I became a widower, I decided to sell my mansion in La Moraleja and hired this girl, who gradually entered my life
until she got into my bed."
Thus, without anesthesia.
Direct and sly.
He was always very attached to the apple of his eye, Seur, so
almost every day he went to his office
to observe how a business evolved that, according to the latest economic data provided by the company, in 2018 had a
turnover of 690 million euros
and distributed more than 115 million packages.
