Meeting Georges, One of the First Workers at the IsoHemp Factory.
Today, let’s meet Georges, one of the very first workers at the IsoHemp factory. Georges joined IsoHemp at the very beginning of its journey as a production operator, making him both a witness and a key player in the company’s development.
What does his job involve?
Having eyes everywhere in the factory and acting quickly. In practical terms, he ensures the quality and smooth operation of the entire production process; from starting the production line to final cleaning at the end of the day, with meticulous monitoring in between.
If something goes wrong, Georges doesn’t waste a minute to act and ensure it’s fixed. Could we call him the guardian angel of the factory? In any case, it’s undeniable that he holds a strategic position in the smooth running of the factory and the production of hemp blocks. And when you talk to him about IsoHemp, what you can read between the lines is all the passion he has for the company, the product, and the team.
A New Language, a New Culture.
It should be noted that his entry into IsoHemp also marked the beginning of a new life, a new language, a new culture for him. For it was fresh from Romania that he began his hemp adventure.
Not speaking a word of French, he is still touched today that Jean-Baptiste and Olivier, the founders, gave him this chance.
But this opportunity was earned by his solid experience gained in Romania and undoubtedly thanks to his determination, especially his will to learn French quickly.
Very soon, he insisted on switching from English to French to communicate with the founders and his colleagues, as mastering the language of his new home was essential to him.
Action - Reaction
When asked what excites him in his daily work, he reveals that it’s the surveillance-solution combo that fulfils him. Unlike his previous experience, at the IsoHemp factory, if he notices a problem, it’s up to him to act and find the solution.
His Secret?
His secret to a good workday? Order and discipline! For him, being organised allows him to stay focused, always attentive, to act quickly if something happens, and thus avoid a chain of errors. Being well-organised also means allowing himself a bit of time to breathe, keeping a clear mind to handle his responsibilities.
His Anecdote?
With so many days at the factory under his belt, Georges has plenty of stories to tell, but there’s one that particularly marked and touched him. “One day, after a small accident, I burned my hand at home. Nothing serious, I could work without any problem, but there was one thing I couldn’t do—lace my shoes. Olivier, my boss, did it for me. That’s something I’ll never forget because it touched me a lot; we’re a close-knit team.”
One Word to Describe IsoHemp?
Perseverance. Georges witnessed the initial challenges of integrating this innovative product, the hemp block, into the construction sector. But more importantly, he saw the perseverance of the founders and the entire team, which led to the success of IsoHemp as we know it today.
Personally, he never wanted to abandon ship because he deeply believed in the product and in all the people around him.
And he wasn’t wrong.
