A new initiative has also been launched in 2019, Transport by GCA Exeltour:

•     A driving simulator, our transport equipment and our operational staff from local subsidiaries go directly to secondary schools and training centres to meet young people or people undergoing retraining. It's a way of immersing ourselves in the situations that drivers face every day and creating a real exchange with them through discovery workshops or challenges.
•      The aim is to show that transport is a profession for the future, where innovation and digital technology go hand in hand with excellence and performance. It's a social ladder that allows everyone, whatever their professional situation, age or qualifications, to have an interesting and progressive working life. Transport is not just about driving, and it's for men and women alike.
•     GCA's Exeltour is also used internally by our instructors to make drivers aware of certain driving situations. It is also used at subsidiary open days to give employees' families a glimpse of their daily working conditions.

• At the Holding, for example, there is a dining room with a kitchen, a shaded terrace, a large gym for 20 people, Pilates or yoga classes, a petanque court, a table tennis table, a shared library, the occasional arrival of food trucks, etc.
• Festive events for staff: Christmas tree, Interfiliales, 90th anniversary of the Stade de France, various trips organised by CSE in France or abroad, etc.

She explains:

" In a family business, you always have to think about passing the business on. We're in it for the long haul, with the idea of always preparing for the future rather than being subjected to it. I'm fortunate that my two sons joined the business a few years ago, and that they too quickly demonstrated their passion for the business.

The fourth generation is on its way, giving our customers and staff a perspective.

The eldest, Charles, runs the Transport and Distribution division, and Arthur, the youngest, the Automotive Logistics, Industrial Logistics and Caillot Transport divisions. They started out in a subsidiary, in the field, and have a thorough understanding of the business. They are effective and are now recognised by our employees, which is very important. It's a great gift, because it was important for me not only to build on the foundations laid by my father and grandfather, to create something that made sense, but also to pass the company on and put it in the right hands to guarantee its long-term future and development."
