Huub van Rozendaal receives NEVIR Oeuvre Award
During the annual presentation of the 'Dutch IR Awards, on January 8, 2015, CFO Huub van Rozendaal received the NEVIR Oeuvre Award.
The so-called life-time achievement award was presented this year for the first time. The prize is being awarded to someone who has demonstrated to recognize the importance of investor relations, who is appreciated by his stakeholders and has regularly won an award.
Roeland Haanen, Chairman NEVIR: “As CFO of Sligro, Huub van Rozendaal was co-responsible for the daily business, strategy and the investments and acquisitions following the strategy and the financing. The fact that he is always available for investors and analysts deserves much praise. With this lifetime achievement award the board of the NEVIR wants to recognize that Sligro has set a high standard for IR; one which, according to the jury of this year, few companies can emulate. The number of times Sligro has won IR awards, not only with the NEVIR but also at other occasions, is of exceptional quality and the NEVIR wants to honor Huub, at his impending departure as CFO, in this manner."
