Healthy Living Campaign FRIDAY, 13 FEBRUARY 2015 Based on the proverb – ‘You are what you eat’, Waleed Catering & Services Co. LLC (Newrest Wacasco), one of Oman’s major catering players, developed and successfully launched on 2nd of February, 2015, its own healthy educational program. This will be deployed within their 105 operated sites and will target their 1,600 employees and 48,000 meals served daily. The launch of the Healthy Living Campaign was attended by the Director of the Nutritional Department for the Ministry of Health, Dr. Samia Al Ghannami, who expressed a strong support to such corporate social initiative. The objective of this campaign is to educate as many people as possible and promote the welfare of the clients and staff onsite. This program is jointly sponsored by Oman Refreshment Company and Burjeel Me- dical Center. At the beginning of the ceremony, the campaign’s mascots, Linda and Marcel, welcomed the guests and invited Ms. Aurelie Gueguen, Newrest Wacasco’s General Manager and Mr. Youssef Ezzikhe, Oman Refresh- ment Company’s General Manager, to cut together the launching ribbon. During her opening speech which was based on one of the Ministry of Health’s case studies, Mrs. Aurelie Gueguen, declared: “In the sultanate of Oman, there is a worrying increasing trend with overweight, obe- sity, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases. This is mainly due to the rapid economic and social development of the country causing changes of local food habits and an increase of sedentary activity”. “Facing this situation and as a responsible company, Newrest Wacasco decided to initiate a nutritional awareness campaign to educate its employees, clients and local community members across Oman about how to live a healthy life”, Mrs. Gueguen added. This program is simultaneously deployed in other 45 opera- ting countries of Newrest Group and part of corporate commitment. Following her discourse, Ms. Marie Chatelier, a dietician nutritionist working in Newrest Wacasco’s opera- tions department, detailed the content of this 10-month project. In order to sustain the healthier lifestyle approach, 5 main topics will be covered, i.e. sports, nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, healthier eating and heart- care. Each of these topics will be brought to life by organizing activities and competition with winning prizes. After introducing the campaign, all the guests were invited for tasting healthy snacks based on light gour- met recipes. Along with this event, Burjeel Medical Center made available a medical stand for screening the blood pressure, the glucose blood level and the body mass index for the invitees. Such health screening stands will be again provided by the Medical Center throughout the campaign period. Newrest is committed to constant improvement and innovation for its clients, a sustainable and durable development of the company as well as its standards and its environment, respecting social and environ- mental values in all of its activities. In line with this, Newrest Wacasco is convinced that the Healthy Living Campaign deployment over the next 10 months will be highly contributing to any of their clients, staff and local community members.

Located in the environs of the Minera Constancia mine (Hudbay), this center organizes different courses based on integrated services: theoretical courses, cooking workshops, cleaning and maintenance workshops, etc. This project is in keeping with the actions recently led by Newrest Peru (a bakery was set up, transport contracts were negotiated), aimed at strengthening the subsidiary’s collaboration with local communities.

    DOSSIER DE PRESSE 2012 Marc FEUILLEE Président directeur général - Groupe Le Figaro Le Groupe Figaro a décidé de développer au sein de son por- tail internet lefigaro.fr, leader français des sites d'actualité, une chaine nautisme, en synergie avec meteoconsult, les pages sports du quotidien et la course La Solitaire. Par ailleurs, afin d'amplifier le développement de l'événement, le Groupe Figaro a décidé de confier pour les prochaines an- nées, l’organisation de La Solitaire du Figaro - Eric Bompard Cachemire à la société Pen Duick. Son expertise dans le milieu des courses océaniques est in- déniable et reconnue. Organisateur de nombreuses courses transatlantiques dont deux en classe Figaro Bénéteau 2, je suis intimement convaincu que cette nouvelle équipe portera encore plus haut les couleurs de cet événement de premier ordre du calendrier voile en France. Depuis désormais 42 ans, La Solitaire a permis à de nombreux marins de se forger une expérience majeure dans la grande aventure de la course au large en révélant de magnifiques talents qui voguent désormais sur de multiples supports. Il n’est pas rare de voir ces grands marins venir régulièrement, se jau- ger et se mesurer à la jeune garde. La Solitaire du Figaro - Eric Bompard Cachemire possède cet atout unique de pouvoir ré- gater à armes égales sur des parcours toujours très exigeants, difficiles et sélectifs et qui requièrent de la part de ces skippers un grand sens de la navigation. L’internationalisation se poursuit cette année par une étape en Espagne à Gijon mais également avec la présence parmi les inscrits de plusieurs skippers anglais, portugais et norvégiens.

  • Press Release Trescal Embarks on the Sailing Race Vendée
    PRESS RELEASE TRESCAL EMBARKS ON THE VENDEE GLOBE 2016 SAILING RACE Paris, November 6th, 2016. Trescal, international specialist in calibration services, is doubly involved in the Vendée Globe 2016 Race. Firstly as a sponsor of the skipper Fabrice Amedeo, who will take part, for the first time next Sunday in this unique solo race around the world without assistance. But also, by providing metrological expertise to the technical team of the Imoca Newrest-Matmut. Trescal, provided to Fabrice Amedeo’s technical team a tension meter calibrated in their laboratory to check the forces exerted on the riggings. « This tension meter will enable us to better calculate the tension exerted on the maneuvers in static and dynamic conditions. In particular on the halyards (ropes to hoist the sails) and on the stays (ropes to haul or trim the sails) in order to optimize the choice in strength and weight of the riggings. It will also be used to optimize devices as pulleys, reinforcements on the sails, and to better understand the force induced in the structure of the boat where these devices are fixed ... all this in order to optimize performance!” enthusiastically stated Yvon Berrehar, technical director of the Imoca 60. Trescal’s support of the team will continue after the race because, in addition to these measures carried out with the tension meter, the team located in the Trescal calibration laboratory in Rennes will carry out verification and testing of electrical equipment (current, voltage), and of external and submerged temperature sensors. The collaboration with Fabrice Amedeo will continue after this Vendée Globe race as the group will be accompanying him and his team during his next challenges : La Transat Jacques Vabre in 2017 and La Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe in 2018.

Crossing the ocean at a speed of over 17 knots for the multihulls and nearly 12 knots for the monohulls is enough to test the sturdiness of the strongest teams. Altogether 35 boats will start the race, 13 in Thiercelin’s 60-foot (18.28m) monohull-category. "Back in 2003 we started to discuss with Marc Thiercelin how new technologies could help him and improve his boat," says Pierre Brisson, head of ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme (TTP). "Weight reduction and an efficient electricity system were soon identified as areas where proven technologies from space could provide interesting solutions." A lighter type of battery was identified, based on a model originally developed for satellites in the Space technology will boost the performance of at 1990’s.
