Commenting on the three wins, general manager Serge Zaalof said: “It feels really good for my 4500 colleagues. I am very very happy.

“We keep it simple and I think it is a very rich team. We do not think alike. It is nice, it is fun and we try and bring a bit of humour, we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take our work very seriously. It is a fun thing to do every single day. Hard work, but fun work."
