They are a lawyer in business law or family law, interior designer, works broker, real estate agent, optimization and creation of wealth, notary, court commissioner or banker and insurer. Their common point? These women and men are all members of business neighborhoods, a new network of business created at the end of last year in the Salonais sector sector.
The local host for our sector is Grégoire Romain, real estate agent and expert in this same area recently.
Gathered, like every 15 days, in a restaurant in the sector – and once in two directly in the company of a member of the network, then calling on a caterer for the meal – they had the visit of the creator of this network in 2010, Jérémy Piallat, who explained his objective to the whole assembly when setting up the first section: “I wanted to undertake but it was good to have a network, because it makes us stronger. We met with friends in Avignon, we were 13. The desire was to connect managers, employers and elected representatives. We created others elsewhere, 25 in total, with a strong presence in the south and the idea is now to be present everywhere”.
“People before business”
The particularity of this business network, according to him “is to put people before the business. We are here when it goes bad, we support each other. And with the network we always find a solution. Then obviously we recommend ourselves between us”. All for 60 € per month.
A sum “Really low compared to other structures of the same type”, According to one of the guests present that day.
The meal was a good opportunity to show the right atmosphere that reigns within the network, with broken sticks, having actually sometimes absolutely no link with the business: “When we see each other more than our best friends, we necessarily end up appreciating and creating links”, concludes Jérémy Piallat.
