SECTION 03

A loyal and experienced team of women.

COFOX owes its success first and foremost to the women who make up the company. Taken over in 2016 by an entrepreneur from Soissons, the company has been run by his two daughters, Clémence and Eléonore since 2024 — supported by a team of female staff, some of whom have been with the company for over 30 years.
