Saint-Germain-les-Belles. A promising future for local crafts. The “Towns & Villages of recovery in Haute-Vienne” trophy, presented by Éric Faucher, president of the CMA Nouvelle-Aquitaine – Haute-Vienne, rewards local authorities which are actively involved in the transfer and takeover of businesses artisanal.
For the seventh consecutive year, this event is part of Transmission Month – Resumption, an event in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region. Saint-Germain-les-Belles is mobilizing for crafts and has particularly distinguished itself by its commitment to maintaining and developing craft businesses in its territory. The municipality has been able to deploy significant resources, both financial and human, to support artisans and buyers. Among the concrete actions carried out, we can cite the development of premises adapted to the needs of businesses and the networking of local actors. These investments reflect a strong desire to preserve the artisanal fabric, essential to the economic and social vitality of the region.
A day full of encounters
The event began with a visit to the Ponty Compost Environnement company, located in the Martoulet ZAE, where participants were able to discover an innovative activity committed to sustainable development. At 6 p.m., the Senegas butcher's shop, located at 6, rue de Leycuras, welcomed visitors to share its know-how and its key role in local life. The day ended with an official ceremony in the village hall, where local elected officials, artisan buyers and partners gathered to celebrate this recognition.
The Trophy highlights the essential role of local authorities in supporting artisans and business buyers. In Haute-Vienne, this commitment is reflected in particular by concrete actions, such as company visits, workshops and round tables, making it possible to encourage exchanges between sellers and buyers, and to raise awareness among local elected officials of the issues of business transfer. By rewarding the municipality of Saint-Germain-les-Belles, this trophy salutes not only the investment of elected officials, but also that of local artisans and buyers, who contribute to preserving and developing valuable know-how for the region.
