(Français) Une belle histoire de transition
The SARC in Brittany developed, restructured and soon owned by its employees thanks to the Transition Manager NIM Europe.
In 2018, we proposed Jean Louis Vanhee as transition CEO to the Société Armoricaine de Canalisation, a family company, which was in decline, to develop it. In a few months, he restored profitability to the company (42 million euros, 215 employees). It has profoundly transformed the activity to make it eco-responsible thanks to the participation of employees who propose “eco-ideas”. On March 15, 2020, a transmission procedure opens so that the 8 managers but also all employees who so wish can enter the company’s capital.
This great adventure made the front page of the local press. Jean Louis thus joins the 24% of our Interim Managers whose success allows them to continue their career in the company at the end of their mission.

In October 2018, the shareholders called on an interim manager, Jean-Louis Vanhee, to turn the company around. Having proven himself, he was confirmed in his position as Chief Executive Officer: “I want to share the conviction that the sustainability of our Group depends on sustainable development: our water business is a major challenge for the planet”, emphasizes he. Other convictions carried by this team leader: “today, the actors are technically equipotential, it is the behavior that will make the customer’s choice. The economic balance of our activities involves energy savings, waste treatment, water savings, … Not to mention that we are sorely lacking in manpower”.
