Moving to Irapuato

Although he was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Sergio Arturo Preciado Pimentel feels like “Irapuatense”, because after moving to this municipality, he feels that there is no better place to live and establish.

Sergio Arturo decided to live in Irapuato due to short transfer distances, job opprotunities and economic growth.

He studied Communications at the University of León 7 years ago, and works at the Social Security Institute of the State of Guanajuato (ISSEG).

“When I first arrived to Irapuato, the city was smaller, but lately, the economic development is evident, investments are being made so there are many sources of employment, besides the strategic geographic location of the city is a big advantage” , he said.

Sergio Arturo recommends Irapuato as a place to live and start businesses, he is convinced that the economic growth of this city will bring more job opportunities for its residents.
