Although it will be a change, there will still be customers can be assused there will be no disruption to service during the acquisition." For a start, the same premises will be maintained and also the other offices. The manager of the new company that will be integrated into Marcel Bonvin & Son, called Bureau & Ateliers Crans-Montana, will be Angelo Rossi who has been working at Geo Bonvin for 15 years. Thierry Emery, the current director who is retiring, will ensure a smooth handover. Current customers will not experience any changes to their service but they will be able to benefit from the new firm's expertise in heating and ventilation technology. Within Marcel Bonvin & Son, special attention is given to training with six to 10 apprentices being taught every year. This philosophy will continue in the new company, bringing great opportunities for young people interested in a career within building technology. Marcel Bonvin and Son believe that in order to provide the best possible services, you have to be able to trust your team to carry out a job to the standards expected by the customer. This is why they advocate the values of Confidence and Quality - and these will be passed onto the new structure.

We are pleased to take on this trained team who know their customers well and are fully motivated to make the most of this transition."
