Frank van Oers (chairman of the Supervisory Board) commented: "I am very pleased with the nomination of Patrick Mispolet. Patrick's appointment will strengthen the FMCG and managerial experience within Wessanen's Supervisory Board. Patrick has successfully led several companies growth or turnaround challenges and will bring a wealth of experience on strategy focus, integration of acquisitions and the French consumer market to our board. At the same time I would like to express my gratitude to Marjet van Zuijlen. During a time of change with a new CEO coming on board and the company effectively achieving the turnaround she has provided valuable expertise and support. On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to thank Marjet and wish her all the best in all her future endeavours.
