Ari Lehtoranta, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Caverion Corporation:
“Fredrik Strand has been leading Caverion for two years, during which the strategy has been implemented consistently. The organisation has been strengthened and the investments have been made to develop and harmonise the company’s operational model, processes and systems. Profitability has been developed under the management of Fredrik Strand, but not enough.
Caverion continues the strategy implementation and the company’s development by taking the client needs and the digitalisation of the operating environment into account. It is essential that the investments made have a favourable effect on the company’s results. The employees have a significant role in this.”
