FYI, Thierry Maincent is no more manager of 1855, he left the company last year
Anon. If that is indeed the case this would appear to be news to 1855. Please see: http://capital.1855.com/?p=conseil-administration
He is listed as their Directeur Général Délégué
please check page 11 from Rapport Annuel 1855 :

(*) A compter du 30 septembre 2010, suite à la démission pour convenances personnelles de
Monsieur Thierry Maincent de toutes ses fonctions opérationnelles dans le groupe 1855, le
groupe fonctionne avec un seul directeur général délégué.
Anon. Thank you for that clarification.
