THE FOUNDER OF ROUTE59
Thierry Téchy
Thierry Téchy holds a degree in robotics engineering from ISIC in Mons. As a student-entrepreneur, he co-founded Readeal in April 1988, which would later become Selligent, a software company specializing in CRM and digital marketing. For more than thirty years, he played a key role in the company’s growth and international expansion.
Alongside his career as an entrepreneur, his passion for cars led him, in the late 1990s, to start his own collection of classic cars. He then devoted much of his free time to sourcing, maintaining, and restoring his cars, thereby developing a practical understanding of the market and the realities of owning a classic car.
In 2020, he left Selligent for good and founded Route59 to put his experience and collector’s eye to work for other enthusiasts. Advice, transparency, the quality of the cars offered, and personalized service naturally became the founding principles of Route59.
