Loomis AB
WINNER OF THE 2018 GOLDEN GAVEL – LISTED COMPANIES
The jury’s announcement
Alf Göransson became Chair of the Board at Loomis’ first AGM after the company was listed in December 2008, and he has been Chair ever since. During this time, Loomis has experienced a rapid international expansion, doubling its number of overseas offices. At the same time, profits have more than tripled and the share price has increased fivefold.
This development very much down to Alf Göranssons himself. With his deep knowledge of the industry, broad international outlook and uncompromising focus on the business and its profitability, he has successfully led Loomis to the position as global leader in the industry that the company enjoys today. He is not just a powerful driving force in the board room, but also a very responsive chair who combines his competence and his focus orientation with great wit to create a demanding but stimulating atmosphere in the board.
Alf Göransson’s achievements at Loomis are a prime example of the chair of the board of a large listed company genuinely creating value.
