CHANGES IN GROUP MANAGEMENT
DAMMIS VAN DER STAAY BECOMES ADVISER AND MICHIEL GERAEDTS JOINS THE TEAM
Michiel Geraedts, branch manager Staay Food Group Venlo, has joined the group management board of Staay Food Group. This continues the rejuvenation drive that started 2 years ago.
Michiel Geraedts (45) joined Staay Food Group in 2021 as branch manager Staay Food Group Venlo. This branch focuses on customers from the German foodservice, retail and wholesale sectors. Michiel has convincingly reorganised this branch over a period of two years. “I am very proud of what we have realised with our team in Venlo and look forward to my role in the group management of Staay Food Group with great ambition and good sense.” In addition to being a board member, Michiel also remains branch manager of Staay Food Group in Venlo.
Dammis van der Staay (70) is retiring from the management board and will take on a more advisory role on the board. He has been active in the company that his father founded in 1946 since the 1960s. “I am satisfied with how the group management has managed the company in recent times. I look to the future with confidence and think this is a good time to retire from the day-to-day management of our family business.” Dammis will remain a member of the board in an advisory capacity.
As of now, the group management consists of Matthijs Vlasblom, Rien Panneman, Michiel Geraedts, Wim van der Staay, Joop Vernooij and Dammis van der Staay.
