(Econ.), MBA, has been appointed Beltton-Group's Chief Business Development Officer and a member of the Group Management as of January 2, 2008. Together with the Group's top management, Puroranta will be responsible for strategy development and acquisitions. "The position of Chief Business Development Officer is new in our Group. We want to strongly enhance our investments in growth, profitability, and internationalization. In addition to developing our strategy, I believe that having Puroranta in the company will accelerate the integration of our acquisitions, among other things", says Heikki Vienola, CEO of Beltton-Group Plc. "Working at Beltton is a very interesting and welcome challenge for me. I believe that my international experience in management and expert positions will be very beneficial to continuing Beltton's success. I expect Beltton to grow strongly in Finland and rest of Scandinavia in the near future. This requires, in addition to acquisitions, organic growth and even possibly finding completely new, mainstay business areas. I believe a solid co-operation with the Group Management and the business area leaders will bring forth good results for instance in the form of finding new synergies”, tells Puroranta, who starts as Chief Business Development Officer in January.
