For several years, tradition dictated that the annual VÊPRES “lunch” would coincide with a heatwave. Being prepared, we had arranged for a small USB fan to be offered to each of our 180 guests. However, for once, the heat was not overwhelming this time. Fortunately, the temperature was ideal for enjoying the buffet and the musical ambiance, a new feature for 2019!

The Lunch. A valuable occasion for VÊPRES, where we welcome all our partners, clients, suppliers, and subcontractors. It is also an opportunity to meet them, especially for our office-based teams who are not on the front lines in the field, these "behind-the-scenes" contributors who are essential cogs in the "company family": HR, QSE, administration, workshop, and logistics teams.

The consistently strong attendance at our annual lunch over the years is a true reward. It signifies a deep connection to our teams and our straightforward, convivial values, built on trust. Some of our clients traveled considerable distances to visit us (Marne and Haute-Loire). The lunch also provides an opportunity to showcase our workspace, premises, and equipment.

We are therefore committed to making this event a success by relying on quality partners: the excellent caterer La Fine Fourchette (our thanks to Patrice Knecht for his support for over 20 years!), Maxime Lafranceschina (Best Craftsman of France in Fruit and Vegetables), Riondet Seripub (the innovative fan concept!). And new this year, the atmosphere was enhanced by music from the group SOL Y MAR.

Our sincere thanks to all!
