Pierre a bien developpé son secteur et est alle au dela de ses objectifs rapidement, c etait un plaisir de travailler avec Pierre. Encore de nombreuses années après, il n est pas rare que ses ex clients sur la region nantaise me rappellent cette collaboration fructueuse au cours de ces années là. .
