This Monday, November 4, 2024, the members of the CMA presented the main points of the day in the premises of a garage in Trelly, in the new town of Quettreville-sur-Sienne. Laurent Fournier, manager since May 2024, benefited from support from the CMA to take over the company from Pascal Lesaulnier. “It’s good to say to ourselves that we are going to start again, but we don’t necessarily always realize the work to be done,” underlines Laurent Fournier. In Manche, the CMA estimates that business takeover projects are on the rise, due to the age pyramid.
