Wereldhave further aligns organizational structure with LifeCentral strategy

Wereldhave optimizes the organizational structure in order to more effectively achieve the objectives of the LifeCentral strategy, while delivering on cost cutting commitments.

“In the new organizational structure, effective from 1 April 2023, we are integrating the management for Wereldhave Holding and Wereldhave Netherlands, creating a new Executive Team and Management Team. As a result, the separate Management Team for the Dutch market will be dissolved and related costs will be aligned with the size of our portfolio. Despite the high inflationary environment, Wereldhave targets a 5-10% reduction of general expenses in 2023,” said CEO Matthijs Storm.
