” Thanks to our employees we now have some of the strongest brands in the industry.
“There is enormous potential in North America and one can always wish for initiatives of this kind to progress faster. But it costs both time and money to establish operations in an entirely new market”, says Magnus Björnström.
In September 2019 Magnus chose to take on new challenges, having been MD of the company for nearly 4.5 years. He was succeeded by Lennart Eriksson, who most recently comes from the position as COO at Hedson – a position he continues to have in parallel with the MD role.
“I am grateful to lead Hedson onwards. Thanks to our employees and all the knowledge available in the company, we now have some of the strongest brands in the industry. I look forward to managing the trust we have built up and using it to further strengthen our international position”, says Lennart Eriksson.
