Steen Weirsoe, Chief Executive Officer of the Nordic and Central European operations of Wolseley is to retire at the beginning of August.
The building materials supplier said he will be succeeded by Ole Mikael Jensen, who is presently Managing Director for Central Europe.
Jensen, like Weirsoe, joined Wolseley as a result of the DT Group acquisition in 2006. He has been in his current role since 2009, and previously held a number of senior management positions in sourcing and supply chain within the Nordic region.
