New board member to strengthen the professional level at Fonden MESSE C

- I and the other board members at Fonden MESSE C are very satisfied and happy that Allan L. Agerholm has agreed to become part of our board. We currently have a skilled and competent board, but we have also been missing a person with industry experience for a long time. With Allan's arrival on the board, we have just gained someone with solid experience from the trade fair and event industry, which we are convinced will strengthen our insight and understanding of our work to further develop MESSE C. Allan also has many years of experience from senior positions in the hotel industry, which will also be of great importance in connection with our plans to establish a new hotel at MESSE C. I am convinced that with Allan as part of the board, we have now got exactly the right profile that can help us continue on the growth and development journey that we are currently on. And on behalf of the board, I warmly welcome him and look forward to our future collaboration.
