It was presented by Christian Pinault of Caisse d’Epargne Côte D’Azur and Michel Prost Dumont of BP Mediterranée. As in Formula 1, everything at Boutsen Aviation is about team spirit: Mr. Boutsen affirmed this in his acceptance speech acknowledging the hard work and dedication from his team of experts who have helped make the company what it is today.
