Tables, chairs, beds ... The furniture manufacturer, moved by the tragedy of Hurricane Irma, sent a shipment from Chantonnay to Saint Martin at the end of October.
Gautier furniture has been exporting for many years in the French overseas departments and territories. A region of the world that the Director General, David Soulard, knows well. He himself experienced sometimes appalling climatic conditions. “But a hurricane striking with gusts of more than 300 km / h is unheard of! "
After Irma's visit in early September, it was impossible for David Soulard and his father Dominique, CEO of the company, to remain indifferent to the landscapes of devastation.
The group wanted to support the momentum of support: “To fill the container, we turned to our suppliers of mattresses and box springs; and ourselves for the furniture. "
Tables, chairs, beds, bed linen ... but also "two pallets of tarpaulins to protect houses under construction", offered by the Lions Club des Herbiers, of which Dominique Soulard is a member, were sent from Chantonnay, production site of Gautier, end of October.
The many Saint-Martin families still in distress will appreciate this beautiful gesture of humanity._AF
