We recently welcomed at Charbonnel Boutique in Paris, together with Clemence Blanc, Lefranc Bourgeois Brand Director, Ms Virginie Lefranc, grand grand niece of Alexandre Lefranc…She came to us, after reading the 300th anniversary magazine dedicated to Lefranc Bourgeois. She was amazed by all the stories she (re)discovered which reminded her, many family discussions from her youth. We shared many information on the history of the family. She proposed to bring and give us to Le Mans early next year  lots of Lefranc archives, very proud that we aim to still develop Lefranc Bourgeois brand worldwide. Moreover, I helped her to reconnect with her cousin Mr Marcel Lehman Lefranc, 95 years old, still alive, with whom we kept regular relationship (he was in charge of the relation with the artists community and the institutions in the 60’s and 70’s….)

So excited today ! Just received my Series 7 brush from Crown, result from the highly demanding but very immersive “brush making experience” I had during my last visit to the factory a few weeks ago. The certificate (“skill, determination … And maybe a little help”) is far too generous : no doubts on the determination, but the skill was not on my side and my brush would have looked more like a broom without the patient and talented craftmanship of the wonderful team guiding me through this process. We indeed have a fantastic know how in Crown ! Congrats again to Mark and his team for their renewed commitment and the way they manage to transmit our undisputed quality.

Putting up some photos of our recent UK based Leadership Courses – we’ve recently completed the Building Ownership & Connection phase which you can hopefully see was very fun and interactive! And we’ve already been having some great fun Collaboration sparking Innovation too!

COLART AMERICAS HOLIDAY LUNCH 2023

Tuesday, December 12th, 2023

Colart North America had our Holiday Lunch 2023 this afternoon and I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who participated. The event was a great success, and it was wonderful to see everyone come together to celebrate the holiday season.

We made some space, added tables and chairs, while lunch featured delicious subs from Jersey Mike’s, a beautiful display of cakes and cookies, along with music and raffled off prizes! It was a great opportunity for everyone to take a break from their busy schedules and enjoy some time together.

Once again, thank you to all involved in making the event a fun success. I look forward to seeing everyone at the next one!

Happy and safe Holidays everyone!

Best regards,

Eric Drylewicz
