A memorable anniversary for our 10th year
Every year on February 23, we celebrate our company’s anniversary with a moment dedicated to sharing and conviviality. This edition was particularly special as it marked the 10th anniversary of the company.
For the occasion, the teams gathered for a friendly dinner on a riverboat, in a warm and festive atmosphere. This special moment allowed everyone to reflect on the journey so far and to acknowledge the collective efforts that have contributed to the company’s growth and success over the past decade.
The celebrations then continued with a weekend in Reims with colleagues, offering a wonderful opportunity to further strengthen team bonds.
