Man: I joined the Bolloré group, some twenty years ago, as I arrived in nineteen seventy one (1971). I started by working on the technical side as I worked in the quality control department. Then I took part in the setting up of the first production line for polypropylene film at the Quimper factory. Then I worked in production in both Bolloré Technologies paper factories in Quimper and Scaër, and little by little through all these technical responsibilities I moved into personnel and consequently took on the 'personnel' responsibility pretty quickly.
