30 companies under the same roof
The Carré des Affaires of the Littoral Hauts-de-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) in Calais is a business incubator that houses around thirty different small companies in the same building. Géraldine Sidwell is a Secretary in the Property and Heritage division & Coordinator at the Carré des Affaires. As her office is located not far from the building entrance, up to the end of last year, she was the one who received all the parcels that arrived for the tenants.
Constantly disturbed
“I received at least 10 to 15 parcels every day. And much more in the festive period...” says Géraldine. “Each time I had to interrupt my work, get up, leave my office, open up to the delivery people, sign for receipt, store the parcels in a safe place that happened to be my office and inform the recipients. It easily took me one or two hours a day. I was constantly disturbed.”
