Deher spent six years in the public sector, focusing on road and motorway construction. This was followed by eight years with the company Sime Levage as manager of lifting equipment and materials handling for local industries, among them building, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and agriculture.

He is a mechanical engineer by training and takes a keen interest in machinery and cars and is based in Autun, central France. His next major project is to manage the Job Access event at Intermat 2009, as part of IPAF’s campaign to attract young people to the access industry.

Outlining his plans, Deher says: “My main goal is to develop the numbers of training centres and members in France. I also aim to augment IPAF’s influence in the French access sector.”
