New changes to executive and governing bodies of the Group

The VCES Group has begun 2019 with a new corporate governance of its companies and resulting changes to their top management structure.

Having worked for the VCES Group for 7 years, David Labardin has decided to bring his mission in the Czech Republic to an end and go on to pursue his career in his homeland of France. As a result, he has left the positions of CEO and Chairman of the BOD of the development company Linkcity Czech Republic and Deputy CEO and Vice-Chairman of the BOD of VCES. His decision has brought about a number of changes, which have also impacted on the composition of the executive and governing bodies of both companies.

Clément de Lageneste, who served as Deputy CEO for Residential Development, has been appointed as new CEO of Linkcity Czech Republic. From now on, he will be responsible for strategic decisions and further development of the company not only in the residential but also in the industrial segment. In managing the company’s activities, he will work closely with Kristýna Zavrtálková, who will continue to focus mainly on logistics projects as Deputy CEO. Moreover, Zdeněk Pokorný has become new Chairman of the BOD of Linkcity Czech Republic and Clément de Lageneste has been appointed as new Member of the BOD.

Obviously, the new situation has also resulted in changes to the corporate governance of VCES. Zdeněk Pokorný will continue to hold the office of CEO and Chairman of the BOD. In addition to being his Deputy and the Technical Director of the company, Anthony De Busschere has become new Vice-Chairman of the BOD. Last but not least, Radim Martinek, CFO of VCES, has strengthened the ranks of the BOD as its new Member.

The South Moravia Region has celebrated the opening of a children’s treatment center that includes speleotherapy. The first patients will arrive in March.

The new Children’s Sanatorium and Speleotherapy Centre in Ostrava u Macochy is the only one of its kind in the Czech Republic. It is intended for children aged 3 to 18 who have asthma, respiratory system inflammation, allergies, or atopic eczema. On Thursday, February 23, 2023, Governor Jan Grolich of the South Moravian Region joined other partners from the consortium of contractors to hold an official opening ceremony for the building, which cost a total of CZK 218 million and utilized a loan from the European Investment Bank.

Installation of a Tower Crane in the Old Town Square 17th – 19th, Jan. 2020

The Old Town Square in Prague will become the scene of construction “maneuvers” this weekend. VCES will take over the eastern part of the square with heavy machinery and, with increased safety measures, will carry out a demanding installation of a tower crane in one of its construction sites. Installation work is planned for the weekend in order to minimise interruptions to the everyday life of residents and tourists in the city centre.
