To encourage the sailor with enthusiasm and passion in his adventure, the management teams has asked their collaborators to support him in an original way. This initiative was generally and immediately approved by the employees leading to the posting of Newrest Group 28,000 collaborators names on the monohull mast. 28,000 supporters who, from November the 6^th, will live at Fabrice Amedeo first Vendee Globe rhythm. A precious support for the sailor: “All Newrest collaborators will symbolically get on board with me to never let me alone during the difficult moments of the race. My link with Newrest is a story of encounter and confidence. There is a high affinity between Newrest and the Vendee Globe project. Newrest founders started from nothing and has featured on highly competitive market, the inflight catering and group catering sectors. I have nearly the same story because I have arrived lately in professional sailing. At the beginning, everybody was asking itself who I was and what I was coming for. Thanks to labour and tenacity, I am within the reach of my dream, to take part of Vendee Globe start. The most important lesson we can take is that impossible is nothing, that we should always believe in our dreams and follow our challenges as far as we can”.
