ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank all the people I have crossed paths with and especially four people who helped me realise the added value of my work. They saw my attention to detail as a sign of trustworthiness and my unusual career path as an asset. They have taught me the challenges of the business as well as the joys of teamwork.
Mr Michel GIRAUD (posthumously)
CEO of DERCAM PRODUITS and DERCAM SERVICES
A very kind and considerate individual who had an innate gift for selecting and encouraging the people he worked with. His enthusiasm led him to achieve unquestioned professional success.
Mr Hacène BOUGHERARA (posthumously)
Co-founder of Hydrochem
In addition to our close sibling relationship, I was blessed to work with Hacène for a period of time. He was a generous, big-hearted soul and I was therefore able to draw from his natural honesty and meticulousness.
Mr Guy BARBIER
General and Technical Manager of DERCAM SERVICES
A man of action, who knew how to get people to work well together; he knew how to take each individual’s and each team’s best qualities and combine them to satisfy our customers.
Mr Guy SAUNIER
