Baptism ceremony for the Philippe Ratynski class

30 June 2011 - Events - France

On 21 May 2011, the baptism ceremony for the Philippe Ratynski year group took place at the EATP (public works training school) in Égletons (central France); Philippe Ratynski was Deputy Managing Director of VINCI and Chairman of VINCI Construction until 2006.

The event was staged in honour of the 260 students in the class, who, throughout the 2010-2011 academic year, had opportunities to learn about VINCI’s business activities thanks to meetings with practitioners from the roads, earthworks and civil engineering sectors.

Some fifty students, from the civil engineering and driving-of-building-machinery sections, won a prize for achievement. Tribute was also paid at the ceremony to Philippe Ratynski, evoking his outstanding career within the VINCI Group, his passion for building and his determination to go “ever further, ever higher, together” with his teams.
