\n Per är Säljansvarig för Norden och Storbritannien, och är bosatt i Danmark. I mer än 30 år har han arbetat för VBG på oilka positioner inom företaget. I hans nuvarande roll leder han säljorganisationen i Norden och Storbritannien. Som styrelsemedlem i LFG jobbar han även för goda villkor och hållbara relationer inom påbyggarbranschen. Han kommer från en familj med rötter inom transportbranschen och har själv arbetat som lastbilschaufför och disponent. Dessutom har han studerat ledarskap, marknadsföring, ekonomi och är utbildad hantverkare. När Per är ledig så vill han gärna ut i naturen och njuter allra mest av när han får paddla ut i sin havskajak.\n

\n Per er salgsansvarlig for Norden og Storbritannien og bosiddende i Danmark. Han har arbejdet for VBG i mere end 30 år og haft forskellige stillinger i virksomheden. I sin nuværende stilling leder han salgsorganisationen i Norden og Storbritannien. Som bestyrelsesmedlem i LFG arbejder han også for at skabe gode vilkår og holdbare relationer i opbyggerbranchen. Han kommer fra en familie med rødder i transportbranchen og har selv arbejdet som lastbilchauffør og disponent. Derudover har han læst ledelse, markedsføring og økonomi og er uddannet håndværker. Når Per har fri, vil han gerne ud i naturen, og han nyder allermest at ro ud i sin havkajak. \n
