Van de Velde announces new composition of BoD's

Because of this Van de Velde is convinced that the appointment of Marleen Vaesen will be a real added value to companies Board of Directors. 

Marleen Vaesen was appointed to carry out one of Herman Van de Velde’s two mandates. Until recently Herman Van de Velde was appointed director in both his own name and in the name of Herman Van de Velde NV.
