ISS A/S, a global leading facility services provider, today announced the new Country Manager of its business in Denmark. Flemming Bendt currently holds the position of Regional CEO of ISS in Eastern Europe, and he will take over at the helm of ISS Denmark when the current Country Manager, Martin Gaarn Thomsen, becomes Group COO of the ISS Group on 1 February.

Troels Bjerg, Regional CEO Northern Europe said:

'I am very pleased that Flemming has accepted to take this very important and demanding position. It is yet another example of our strong pipeline of leaders in ISS. Flemming is an experienced and effective leader who has a profound understanding of our strategic journey and great people skills.'

'In many ways, Denmark is a pioneer country in ISS. This is where it all started and in recent years, ISS Denmark has also been a frontrunner in implementing our new strategic initiatives with great success, which other countries in our organisation are now benefitting from. The recent contract wins and expansions with, for example, Danske Bank, Danish State Railways, and Danish Broadcasting Corporation are strong testaments to the strong customer focus of ISS Denmark. I am confident that Flemming will continue keeping ISS Denmark at the forefront of our strategic development.'

Flemming Bendt joined ISS in 1998 and has worked in various senior leadership positions. He is a familiar face in the ISS Denmark organisation where he worked as CFO and, from 2012 to 2013, as interim Country Manager:

'I am honoured and very excited by this opportunity to return to ISS Denmark. The Danish organisation is one of the flagships in the ISS Group, a great organisation with highly skilled and engaged people, strong service offerings and a number of important, strategic customers. I look forward to working with old and new colleagues on developing the organisation and our customer relationships even further.'

Flemming Bendt has been Regional CEO Eastern Europe since early 2013. Prior to that, he has worked as Country Manager of ISS Australia and CFO of ISS Belgium.
