This month's agent is Pascal Carré of Languages & Travel, which has offices in France and Belgium. Mr Carré first became an agent by representing the school where he studied - Scanbrit in Bournemouth, in 1981. Then, after several experiences with partners, he started his own company in Brussels, Belgium, which became in 1992 Languages & Travel. In 2000, a branch in Lyon was set up. Mr Carré is also the President of transnational Agents Association, ESS (European Schools Service, www.essinfo.org). He promises any agent who whispers "yellow scarf" at a forthcoming workshop a beer for having recognised him!
