Originally from Normandie, having grown up in Provence, I studied in Grenoble, before discovering English student life in the late 90s.
Back in France, my career began in the Paris region. A return to my native Normandie would see us cross the Channel again in 2014.
From a simple audit for the integration of a subsidiary near Birmingham into our French industrial group, I took responsibility for it as Managing Director. I developed the business in the fields of aerospace, nuclear, automotive and created 2 new locations in Chester then in Bristol.
We settled in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, where our daughters aged 19 and 14 have perfectly integrated into English life and my wife reopened a business there in 2022.
Within the local community we work with Charities, sports and cultural clubs (including the twinning with Thiers), and I invest myself in representing France within the Chambre de Commerce Française in London, and our small FLAM school in Birmingham.
