His appointment is in line with the cooperative's strategic direction, in which Royal FloraHolland's platform will continue to grow both digitally and logistically.

Chair of the SB, Evert van Helvoort, on the appointment: "It is with great pleasure that I welcome Peter Bommel to Royal FloraHolland. His broad background in various sectors combined with his international managerial expertise in strategy, finance and innovation make him a valuable addition to our SB. So we expect Peter to be a good addition to the SB. We thank Pascal Visée for his years of dedication and valuable contribution to the Audit Committee and the SB as a whole."

Peter Bommel: "Royal FloraHolland is a leading international platform for flowers and plants. It is precisely the combination of the long history of more than 100 years from its original Dutch roots combined with the digitisation drive and international growth that appeal to me. With my broad background and experience, I look forward to contributing to the future and further development of Royal FloraHolland as commissioner. The floriculture industry is making innovative strides and I look forward to continuing to build together and see its ambitions come to fruition."
