To the Epson Project Team,

I have spent the last fifteen years delivering industrial, workplace and technical fit-outs across France — including programmes of comparable complexity to Sucy-en-Brie. From mobilisation through to handover I will own technical delivery end-to-end: design coordination, constructability, MEP integration and statutory compliance.

My focus will be uncompromising on three things: protecting the January 2027 launch date, holding the supply chain to the standards Epson expects, and giving your team complete visibility of progress, cost and risk every week. There will be no surprises.

I have already walked the building, met our preferred mezzanine partner on site, and started conversations with local authorities alongside Bush. The team is ready.

Sincerely,

Guillaume Galland

Before reviewing the figures that follow, I would encourage one simple question:

"Which commercial approach gives Epson the greatest confidence in the outcome?"

In our experience, the most successful projects are not those that begin with the lowest number. They are the projects where the right decisions are made early, risks are understood openly and investment is directed to the areas that matter most.

That principle has shaped this submission from the outset.

Every cost has been challenged. Every major package has been reviewed. Every opportunity to reduce risk, improve value or protect programme has been explored before being presented to you.

The result is a commercial submission designed to provide transparency, clarity and informed choice — not simply a tender sum.

Our objective throughout has been straightforward: to approach Epson's investment with the same care, scrutiny and responsibility that we would apply to our own.

I hope the detail that follows reflects that commitment.

One of the earliest conclusions reached during our review of the project was that Sucy-en-Brie would benefit from a delivery team that combined European project leadership with specialist local French technical expertise.

Whilst Voltarra regularly delivers complex workplace, industrial and technical environments, the combination of French statutory approvals, structural mezzanine integration, detailed MEP coordination and an accelerated programme creates a level of complexity that warrants dedicated local technical support from the outset.

For that reason, we have partnered with Bush & Associates, a French architectural and engineering practice with extensive experience delivering technically complex projects within the French regulatory environment. Importantly, this is not a new relationship. Members of the Voltarra team have successfully collaborated with both Derek Bush and Neege Allen on previous projects and have first-hand experience of their technical capability, responsiveness and construction-focused approach.

Rather than operating as an external consultant, Bush will form an integrated part of the wider Voltarra delivery team. They will report directly through Max Parsons and work alongside our project, commercial and delivery teams, with direct technical access to Office Principles and Lena Sabela to ensure continuity of the design vision, brand standards and interior design intent established for Epson.

The result is a single, coordinated delivery team that combines local French expertise with wider European project leadership — reducing risk, improving technical coordination and providing greater confidence through design development, permitting and construction.
