We recently celebrated the company’s centenary!
It was an emotional event reviewing the group’s history, recognising the commitment of our staff and celebrating the human dimension of our organisation!
In the company of our teams and partners at LA MAISON (France), an iconic venue in Lyon, we celebrated everyone who has contributed to this wonderful journey – in the past, the present and for the future!
A lively evening
On arrival, the jazz quartet “Les 4 Chut” – part of the local association “Cie c’est chaud” – comprising four musicians who played whilst mingling amongst the guests, provided a lively soundtrack tinged with a touch of gentle nostalgia to accompany a tour of the exhibition tracing the group’s evolution since 1926.
A retrospective lasting a few minutes, shown on a giant screen, rounded off this journey through history and gave the floor to the organisers to introduce the next stage of the adventure.
The photobooth provided by Le Carré studio, wildly original and off-the-wall, was a hit with all the guests. The numerous photos taken, inspired by the photographers’ suggestions and made possible by the wide range of props on offer, sparked plenty of laughter along the way!
Packed with highlights
After a few acts presented jointly by Hervé Troccaz on stage and Ugo with an H in a close-up performance for a surprised and delighted audience, singer Florence François took to the stage to perform “Allumer le feu”! With a varied, cross-generational repertoire that showcased her incredible voice, the atmosphere gradually built up until the arrival of the cake, specially designed by Le Labo d’Elo.
The monumental projection onto the terrace’s glass roof—a vibrant tribute to all the women and men who have worked for the company—stirred deep emotion and left a lasting impression.
A double celebration: the handover
It was a momentous occasion for our Chairman, Philippe BARRE, who was also celebrating 40 years’ service within the CTP family, whilst handing over the reins to his successor, Lionel MONDELIN.
Together, they delivered moving speeches, filled with memories and words of thanks, and firmly focused on the future!
We would like to thank all those who took part for creating memorable moments that will be remembered for a long time to come!
This event was organised jointly by Agence BISONS and Agence Engagevent, two event organisers who impressed us with their concept and their commitment to CSR.
