Appointment of Rob van Herpen as Purchasing Manager of Sligro Food Group Nederland B.V.
Sligro Food Group announced in early August that, in view of its rapid growth (partly due to the acquisition of VEN, Inversco and part of Edah), it had decided to strengthen the management teams so that the Executive Board of Sligro Food Group had more time to devote to group matters.
Following the appointment of Walter de Wit as General Manager of Sligro Zelfbedieningsgroothandels and Henk-Jan Peterse as General Manager of Sligro Bezorgservice groothandels, the Executive Board of Sligro Food Group has now promoted Rob van Herpen (39) to Purchasing Manager of Sligro Food Group Nederland B.V.
Since completing his business management studies at Eindhoven Institute of Technology (HTS), Rob van Herpen has gained wide experience in the food sector. Having held a number of commercial positions at a meat wholesaler in Marseille (France) and Sligro subsidiary Vishandel J. Smit, he has been working since 1995 in Sligro Food Group’s central purchasing department, most recently as Deputy Purchasing Manager. He is married, has three children and lives in Dinther.
Rob van Herpen will start his new job today.
