After 20 successful years leading TCR as Chief Executive Officer, Marc Delvaux has decided to step down to a non-executive role as Board Member and Chairman of TCR International as from Oct. 1. The Board of Directors has appointed Tom Bellekens, former Chief Operating Officer, as the new Chief Executive Officer. To guarantee a smooth transition the succession planning has been accurately planned for the last two years.
Bellekens, who is a Belgian citizen (married, with two children), joined TCR 16 years ago and has occupied different functions in the group, both in the Belgium-based headquarters as well as in country businesses. Bellekens has been a key player in the impressive development of the company. He has taken an active role in determining the strategic direction of the company for many years. Therefore the existing strategy will be maintained, in full alignment with the TCR Group’s vision: “To be the global leading service provider of GSE solutions by setting tomorrow’s standards.”
“I am very honored and humbled to be leading the company to its next destination. I can rely on a very passionate and competent team, backed by very supportive shareholders. I want to thank them and Marc for giving me the opportunity to lead this fantastic market-leading company. I also take this opportunity to thank all our customers, whose trust and confidence has brought us to where we are today. They can count on our full dedication to support their business going forward.” Bellekens says.
