Renewed Sligro Enschede opened!
Monday, March 30 Sligro Enschede reopened its doors after a major renovation. Alderman Welman of Enschede performed the opening act, under the watchful eye of a large number of senior and star chefs such as Martin Kruithof (Lindehof **) and Lars van Galen ('t Lansink *).
Willem-Jan Strijbosch, Director Foodservice Sligro Food Group:
"This is the fourth Sligro Cash & Carry of the new generation. The term ‘Groots in genieten’ is central. In Enschede, we got the opportunity to take over the property of the neighbors and merge it into one building. That resulted in this ultra-modern building with a sales floor area of 8,000 m2. The fresh departments for fish, meat, fruit and vegetables are really a feast for the eyes.
Sligro 3.0.
Enschede is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands with the concept ‘Sligro 3.0.’, after Maastricht, Eindhoven en Gouda. Sligro 3.0. will be the standard for the other Sligro outlets in the Netherlands.

Huub van Rozendaal receives NEVIR Oeuvre Award
During the annual presentation of the 'Dutch IR Awards, on January 8, 2015, CFO Huub van Rozendaal received the NEVIR Oeuvre Award.
The so-called life-time achievement award was presented this year for the first time. The prize is being awarded to someone who has demonstrated to recognize the importance of investor relations, who is appreciated by his stakeholders and has regularly won an award.
Roeland Haanen, Chairman NEVIR: “As CFO of Sligro, Huub van Rozendaal was co-responsible for the daily business, strategy and the investments and acquisitions following the strategy and the financing. The fact that he is always available for investors and analysts deserves much praise. With this lifetime achievement award the board of the NEVIR wants to recognize that Sligro has set a high standard for IR; one which, according to the jury of this year, few companies can emulate. The number of times Sligro has won IR awards, not only with the NEVIR but also at other occasions, is of exceptional quality and the NEVIR wants to honor Huub, at his impending departure as CFO, in this manner."
