Wessanen concentrates Dutch offices at one location

02/02/05 The Executive Board of Royal Wessanen nv has announced that it has completed its plans to concentrate its Dutch offices at one location. This fall, the non-production offices of BOAS B.V., Beckers Holding and the head office of Wessanen will move to a single location at Beneluxlaan 9 in Utrecht.

After careful consideration, Utrecht was selected as the new location, partly because it is centrally situated with good infrastructure. The building on Beneluxlaan will be fully renovated in the coming months to bring it into line with the needs of the new organization. The building was chosen mainly because of its modern image, state-of-the-art facilities, and easy accessibility. The office will accommodate around 175 employees. The representative bodies and the trade organizations have approved the decision.
