A difficult time for employees

“We were all summoned by the trustee. The verdict has been given: the liquidation is official and our dismissal has been confirmed. We should receive our unpaid wages shortly, but that doesn't change the fact that we now have to turn to France Travail to consider what's next. It's a very difficult time for all of us,” said one employee.

For employees, this announcement marks a sudden turning point. The transition to France Travail, an organization that helps with professional reintegration, is now unavoidable. This reflects a complex economic situation, where many workers find themselves facing layoffs in similar conditions. “We are now part of this multitude of people who have to rebuild their professional lives after such a shock. It's hard not to feel anger or frustration at this sudden end.”

What will be the fate of the convention center? ?

In addition to the social impact, the liquidation of the Frémont company raises questions about the fate of its current projects, in particular the construction site of the convention center in Nîmes, which was to be delivered in two phases.

According to employees, the second part of the construction site, expected for December, is now compromised: “It seems obvious that the construction site will not be delivered on time. The impact on stakeholders, whether the city or subcontractors, could be considerable.”

A company that has left its mark on the local economy

The announcement of the liquidation marks an end brutal for a company that has left its mark on local economic activity. For employees, the situation is uncertain. Despite the hope that their unpaid wages will soon be paid, the prospect of rebuilding a professional future remains difficult to envisage.
