Pierre Shoiry discussed both matters on BNN, but the succession plan took a lot of time during the interview. Mr. Shoiry did not shy away and gave honest answers.

For him, building a succession plan is a sign of the company maturity, something that is well regarded by major shareholders. 'I've felt it was time to move to a new role. I have always been somebody who believed that building a good company is one thing, but building a good team and a succession plan as just as important,' said Pierre Shoiry.

He now wants to devote his time as vice-chairman to growing the company through mergers and acquisitions. Where does he set his eyes? 'We're a global company, so we look into various geographies where we are already present, but also into new geographies that we want to invest in, particularly in Europe and maybe in South America as well.'

'It's a consolidating industry so we want to be an active player, as we've been in the past'.
