’ ve been taken on a virtual round-theworld trip by Oscar Gersjes , Group Procurement Director at Losberger De Boer , as we hop from emergency shelters in Haiti and military camps in Mali , to the most well-known motorsports event in the world , a number of highly customized storage facilities and even find time in our one-hour Zoom meeting to discuss European cultural nuances .
The breadth of work underlines two key messages : the company ’ s global presence and ability to pivot in the pandemic , broadening its business alongside its core events expertise . Rapid Deployment Solutions ( RDS ), Commercial and Event buildings are its key sectors , with rental space and special projects accounting for the largest slice of turnover . Perhaps surprisingly , given its events exposure during the teeth of the crisis , 2020 came in above budget although 2021 projections are currently a little below forecasts – although he is confident it will close the year hitting targets . Major upcoming projects include large scale racing and golf events .
“ Every change provides plenty of opportunities . At the moment there haven ’ t been many events but we ’ ve built a lot of commercial buildings in Europe , sport centres in France , and a wide range of medical facilities to help fight the pandemic all over the world , from temporary hospitals and triage centres to test and vaccination centres ,” he said . constructionglobal . com 27
