Bjørn Larsen

This is Ramirent’s third senior manager to depart ‘by mutual agreement' or 'to pursue other interests’ so far this year. Erik Høi the managing director of Ramirent Denmark left in April, while Tomasz Walawender of Ramirent Poland departed in February.

Rosén said: "While Bjørn remains working in an advisory capacity for Ramirent, I wish to take this opportunity to thank him for his valuable and committed work leading our Norwegian operation. For the past three years, Bjørn has worked hard implementing our common Ramirent platform and restructuring the Norwegian operations to drive higher group synergies and efficiency. He was instrumental in managing the successful acquisition and integration of our high class modules business bringing us a strong foothold in the oil industry."
