Thomas Delahaye, a committed entrepreneur
Born into a large family, Thomas Delahaye grew up in Normandy, in a family mainly made up of entrepreneurs.
He is married to Emmanuelle, a doctor, Thomas has three children and two step-daughters, plays tennis and runs... with his current goal being the Les Sables d'Olonne half-marathon on June 08.
Graduating from ESSCA in 2003, he was one of the first students to complete the five-year course. Since graduating, he has followed a rich and diversified career path, combining consulting, general management and entrepreneurship.
After graduating, Thomas joined SECOR-KPMG, one of Canada's leading strategy consulting firms at the time.
Between 2003 and 2010, he worked in France, Canada and Southeast Asia, mainly for major international groups. This experience enabled him to develop an expertise in supporting general management in strategic and multicultural contexts.
In 2010, Thomas took a decisive step towards general management. He first held the position of Managing Director of a subsidiary of the Vendée-based HERIGE group (ex-VM Matériaux), before becoming Managing Director ofALGIMOUSS, a specialist in cleaning and protection products for the building industry. These experiences reinforced his taste for operational management and business development.
In 2020, he embarked on an entrepreneurial adventure by taking over the companies BÂTI85, BÂTI CONSTRUCTION and BÂTI CONSTRUCTION 44, leaders in the Vendée construction sector. A little later, he added UG MER, a masonry and project management company based in the Vendée bocage, to his portfolio.
These strategic acquisitions have enabled the company to build a solid regional group, now employing around 100 people and generating consolidated sales of 20 million euros.
As sole shareholder, Thomas Delahaye intends to pursue the Group's development through targeted external growth and organic expansion, while diversifying its activities between new-build and renovation.
The Group has just moved into brand-new premises, built naturally by lui-même in just 9 months, which required an investment of €2.4m (located in Saint-Révérend, near Saint-Gilles Croix de Vie in the Vendée).
Alongside his professional responsibilities, Thomas Delahaye passes on his knowledge and passion for entrepreneurship: he regularly speaks at universities, MBA programs and colleges, sharing his expertise in strategy, entrepreneurship and management.
His career illustrates a constant ambition: to combine strategic vision, concrete action and knowledge transfer, in the service of regional development and value creation.
