Up to 90 years is not all. Especially do fit and leading a company that has made the history of Italy
Bernardo Caprotti birthday today. And it is still in charge, although no formal assignments, group, the Esselunga, which has 7 billion in revenue and 22,218 employees.
Employees who consider their "doctor" a figure to be respected. And not so much - or not only - because it assured him the job, but obviously also for the way it has conducted a company become a giant. Corriere della Sera and the Wall Street Journal, in fact, employees Esselunga bought a newspaper page for him birthday wishes. "Never never never give up," it said in large letters blacks on white background. And then at the bottom: "22,218 employees of a company make remarkable tribute to their" Doctor "on his 90th birthday."
It is not a message that you can not underestimate. You do not often see a similar initiative by the employees of such a large group. They do not count many among the cashiers of "Coop's you." Those Coop - however - sworn enemies of Caprotti. There are few stories like this in a country where it took 43 years to set up shop in renziana Florence.
Yet Caprotti never fled economically from Italy he loves. Seventy years of investment and gains in Italy. Esselunga has 8.7% of sales in supermarkets Italian with more than 150 outlets. Numbers that evidently ensured employee recognition. Now publicly ask him: "Never give up."
