The busy start to 2014 means we have a lot of news to report:

• The company has grown and is opening up new prospects

We are delighted to report that our client base expanded further during the first quarter, as the pace of our business continued to pick up. To help satisfy the growing demand, we have recruited a trainee project manager. Caroline joined the team for a 6-month internship on the 17^th March, which also marks the one-year anniversary of our move to the new Financial Word offices on the Champs-Élysées.

Chloé, project manager at Financial Word, has set off for a two-month trip to discover Australia and its culture. Chloe is taking a break from her career in the context of our social policy, which encourages team members to develop their own personal projects with the full support of the company. We wish her every success in this venture which we hope will be a valuable experience!

• La Parisienne 2014

For the second year running, the « Petits Sourires » team will be participating in La Parisienne race on Sunday the 14^thof September. The all-women Financial Word team will take part in the festive and relaxed atmosphere of this annual event alongside its clients, Sunday-joggers and marathon-runners alike!

Financial Word will once again be running in support of the children’s charity Restos Bébés du Cœur, having collected 1,400 euros after last year’s race.

The Restos Bébés du Cœur association runs 240 distribution centres in France, providing support to parents and future-parents in need of help, and Financial Word wishes to contribute to this effort. For more information, please consult the website:
