PROMAN: A family success story in employment solutions!

PROMAN’s journey started in Provence, in the South of France, with strong family and human values. The name PROMAN is a contraction of PROfessionnels de MANosque, an Anglo-Saxon-inspired name that hinted at a promising international future!

The plan was clear: to meet the fluctuating labor needs of local businesses while providing workers with an opportunity to enter the job market. It was about ‘free spirit’… the temporary employees were free in their minds because they had an assignment for tomorrow, the customers free in their minds because the job was going to be done. A free spirit, with a smile…!

Over the years, PROMAN has turned challenges into opportunities, growing with a human-centric vision and a strong sense of pragmatism. This philosophy remains a key asset for future generations.

A strong ambition from day one

The PROMAN adventure began in 1990 when Roland GOMEZ, driven by entrepreneurial spirit, founded a small temporary employment agency in Manosque, France, with his wife, Évelyne. It all started in a modest office called Le Toucan, where PROMAN’s foundation was laid. Joined by their son Roland, the GOMEZ family made a lasting impact on the region, expanding with perseverance, strong human values, and a deep connection to their roots.

Structure to grow!

In 1998, PROMAN moved its head office to larger premises to better manage its rapid growth. This period was marked by the introduction of new processes to professionalize its operations. The financial and commercial management methods are standardized to accompany the opening of branches. PROMAN diversifies its portfolio of customers, moving from the construction sector to industries such as logistics, nuclear and tertiary. This strategic pivot enables us to position ourselves as a trusted partner for demanding sectors.

National growth and international expansion

In the 2000s, PROMAN experienced strong growth. In a few years, the Group has grown from a few agencies to a national network with a strong territorial network covering all sectors of activity. Doubling its network of agencies almost every year, PROMAN takes a new turn in 2012 by making the bet of international.
