At the age of 73, Eric Sarrat, chairman of the French company GT Logistics and grandson of the founder, has entrusted Rodolphe Cavaglieri with the general management of this family business with the aim of preparing the integration of the new generation of family members who are due to join its ranks shortly. Indeed, the first of Eric Sarrat’s six grandchildren, Thibault Pfaff, 18 years old and a shareholder in the company for more than 10 years, is preparing to join his grandfather. To this end, he will start a Bachelor’s degree at the IDRAC Business School in Bordeaux and will alternate his training with internships within the family business.

Eric Sarrat remains non-executive chairman. GT Logistics has a turnover of €70 million and over 1,100 employees.
