Septet Ceremony: here are the winners of the 2024 edition in the Lot

A suspended moment, far from order books, production workshops or shops, to measure the legitimacy of your company and the progress already made. There is something like this in the Septuors evening which comes every year to reward the economic players of the Lot. A sort of step aside, to congratulate and encourage those who innovate, experiment, employ and manufacture. In short, all those who undertake with audacity and merit and who should be rewarded.

It is therefore in Souillac, at the Palais des Congrès, welcomed by Mayor Gilles Liébus, that La Dépêche du Midi, the leading media group in Occitanie, and its communications agency Evelyne, which supports its clients in 14 departments thanks to its 210 collaborators, organized this economic event on Tuesday evening.

In conjunction with the Lot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, represented by Frédéric Vergnes, its vice-president, and alongside numerous partners, the Septuors evening took place amidst applause, thanks to the performances and interventions of the mentalist Rémi Larrousse who amazed the audience.
