Branch Manager
Panagiotis Poulot
Panagiotis Poulot joined the AGS Group as trainee manager at AGS Movers Carcassonne in early 2008, before becoming Director and Manager of AGS Movers Metz in June 2008 and developed the branch significantly. When Panagiotis expressed the wish to change continents, AGS Movers Congo, which integrates the main site of Pointe Noire and the Brazzaville branch, was an excellent option for his skill-set. Panagiotis has a Masters in Logistics and Transport and over ten years experience in the removals industry. He speaks French, English and Greek. We look forward to the Congo branch evolving appreciably in the months and years ahead.

He is fluent in English and French.
AGS Movers Reunion
Branch Manager
Christian Raviart
Christian Raviart, who officially retired in February 2011, is back in service, having said in passing that he had retired enough! It is a pleasure to see Christian again, although he had not left entirely, since he had retained his role on the Board of Directors. Christian’s extensive professional career started at AGS Marmande (SNF-Fourteau) where he began as a Sales Manager, and then became a Branch Manager until December 1990. He then occupied positions such as Branch Manager of AGS Movers Paris, General Manager of SOTEMAD and Technical and Transit Sales Operations at AGS Paris. In January 1997 he was appointed as the IT Manager at AGS Holding. Christian was then in charge of AGS Réunion from October 1998.
We trust that our branch managers will excel in their new positions and wish them all the best in their roles.
