gildas' retirement

 

It is with a lot of emotion that on December 23rd, we celebrated the departure of Gildas after 42 years

of good and loyal services within Arzal Nautique.

 

Many customers and friends of the port came to show their sympathy.

 

It was an opportunity to retrace his professional career at the yard and to drink a glass to his health!

We wish him a well-deserved retirement.

 

Gildas is handling over to Renaud Beauvais who has already worded with us for a few years

and who is now taking on the role of worshop manager.

We wish him good luck too.
