"We are delighted to welcome Luc to the Board of Renewi.  He has significant experience and knowledge that will be valuable to Renewi, including successfully leading a range of international businesses in, and adjacent to, our sector.  His direct experience of post-merger integrations in the Benelux region will also be particularly helpful for Renewi at this stage of the company's evolution."
