The Uhoda family, associated with the city of Liège, holds a remarkable position in the service distribution sector, as well as in culture and contemporary art. The origin of this family goes back to the arrival of their grandparents in Belgium, fleeing Josip Tito's communist regime in Yugoslavia with the intention of moving on to the United States. Following the unexpected death of the grandfather, the family took root in Liège thanks to a job found by the grandmother.

After selling its 75 service stations to the Q8 company, Uhoda's name is also recognized in the art world for its significant collection ofcontemporary works and his love for comics.
