Activ Travaux is gaining ground in Nord-Pas-de-Calais

Activ Travaux continues its expansion in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, welcoming its fourth construction broker. Since July 4, 1, Sophie Mellin has been in charge of construction in Artois, covering a 2011-km area around Arras, as well as in Béthune and Lens.

The people of Artois now have at their service a true "works facilitator" who will support and ensure the success of their projects from structural work to decoration.

After Manpower, Sophie wants to continue to “rely on a serious network”

After legal training (law degree), Sophie Mellin held commercial positions within the Manpower group. For over twenty years, successively as Agency Manager in Lens and then Director of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais Region for her subsidiary SUPPLAY, Sophie has been attentive to the companies in her network. Among her partners, she counts many construction companies. I've often been invited to visit these companies and learn about their businesses. Construction is a field that has always attracted and fascinated me, both for the implementation of the products and the technical qualities... All of this really interests me. »

In 2011, Sophie discovered Activ Travaux “by chance” after reading the testimony of Franck Meunier, an Activ Travaux broker in Lille, in a special report by La Voix du Nord. Convinced that this profession corresponds to both her desires and her skills, she seeks to find out more about the construction brokerage brand.
« Coming from a large international group (Manpower), with really significant methods and resources, I wanted to rely on a serious network. » Sophie is quickly convinced: “ The relationship with Activ Travaux got off to a good start right away. The way this franchise operates suited me perfectly. For me, what's important is communication, sharing knowledge, getting clear answers, and relying on a quality network with proven methods. »

Sophie Mellin then decided to launch a construction brokerage business. At 50, she chose Activ Travaux to support and secure her business creation. While remaining independent, the broker benefits not only from the credibility of a national brand, but also from its experience.

➢ its scope of action: construction verbatim from a house to the renovation of a bathroom or a store.

On the side of the artisans

The work of the works broker begins even before meeting his clients. In fact, it lists building professionals in all trades upstream: plasterers, electricians, masons, plumbers, renewable energy specialists, architects, design offices, decorators and interior designers, etc. The team thus formed is generally made up ofaround thirty service providers handpicked from local businesses.
