Regulatory News:
Groupe Eurotunnel (Paris:GET) has today changed its name to
Getlink.
This new name, reflecting the dynamism of connection and
exchange, marks the Group’s passage into an exciting new era for
mobility infrastructures.
“Getlink is all that is Eurotunnel and more than just
Eurotunnel! Originally the promoter of the Channel Tunnel, itself
an historic technological achievement, over the past ten years the
Group has transformed and is now in perfect shape to take on the
challenges of new forms of mobility”, stated Jacques Gounon,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Group. “The core
mission for Getlink is the development and management of safe,
modern and environmentally friendly mobility infrastructures, a
challenge taken up with success by the 3,300 employees serving more
than 20 million passengers and thousands of businesses in the
United Kingdom, France and across Europe”.
Getlink now leads the businesses of four major commercial
brands:
- Eurotunnel, the leader across the
Channel with Eurotunnel Le Shuttle and Eurotunnel Le Shuttle
Freight,
- Europorte, the leading private rail
freight operator in France,
- ElecLink, the future electrical
interconnector between the UK and France,
- CIFFCO, the leading private European
railway training centre.
Each year, Getlink safely transports more than 20 million
passengers, 1.6 million trucks, 2.6 million cars, almost 2 billion
tonne-kilometres of freight and, soon, also 1 gigawatt of
electricity.
The Getlink businesses are committed to the promise of the new
identity for all its customers based on three core tenets: Safe,
Smart & Green.
- SAFE: From the outset, Getlink
businesses have never compromised on safety. Our services have
always been the safest way to cross the Channel and to transport
goods.
- SMART: Investments in digital
technologies over the past five years have enabled Getlink to enter
the era of Smart infra and now enable it to offer an ever more
enriching experience to its customers, whether in relation to
quality of service, precision of information or staff
engagement.
- GREEN: Getlink provides mobility
infrastructure solutions that are amongst the most environmentally
friendly and the Group is today leader in eco-responsible transport
and fully engaged in energy transition.
“With revenues of over one billion euros, an operating margin
of 50% and predictable cash flows up to 2086, Getlink has
demonstrated the effectiveness and resilience of its economic
model. It is on this same basis that we will continue to generate
growth by offering our customers high value-added solutions, as
exampled by ElecLink” concluded Jacques Gounon.
The Group will retain the same stock market code: GET (Euronext
Paris and Euronext London)
