In the UK

11 Feb 2011

Our CEO, Lars Rasmussen and CFO, Lene Skole recently visited our english subsidiary in Peterborough.

Lars and Lene spent the day in the city updating staff on company progress.

General Manager in the UK, Sue Kernahan was excited. 

“Company updates are usually given in Denmark and broadcasted across our company intranet," says Sue. "This time, however, Lars and Lene paid a personal visit to speak to the UK staff face-to-face.”

Meeting employees

But why give the company update from the UK rather than Denmark?

“We're a global company with subsidiaries in more than 40 countries worldwide," says Lars and Lene. “Visiting the subsidiaries is a great opportunity for us to meet the employees, listen to their thoughts and ideas and to answer their questions.” 

Lene adds.

“Coloplast UK is an important and well-performing part of our global organisation. 

“We're confident that our UK subsidiary will continue to be successful and help us achieve our new long-term ambition: to outgrow the market and achieve EBIT  margins (earnings before interest and tax) that are in line with the best performing medical device companies in the world.”

Coloplast UK has recently attracted a lot of positive attention to themselves. They've won:

  • Peterborough Evening Telegraph Business Award for personal development
  • Interest in People Award
  • Top 100 Company to work for in 2010
