"The decision to leave was made at the turn of the year, and since then I’ve had many positive discussions with our President and CEO, Patrik Mellgren. We share a common vision for how the business should be managed going forward, and I’m grateful for the continued trust he has shown in me. Of course, there are still several challenges to address, both for the industry as a whole and for us as a company. However, we are looking ahead, and we have a solid foundation to build upon in creating a successful company," says Joakim Efraimsson.

"Joakim has been with the Group for a long time and is both a valued colleague and leader. His decision to stay is a strong affirmation of our employer brand and reflects the confidence in the future of the company," says Patrik Mellgren, President and CEO of the Wästbygg Group.
