Cordovan Group opens up in Belgium

The fast growing Swedish management and communication consultancy company Cordovan is now establishing itself in Brussels. Together with its current operations in the London market, this move reflects the Group´s ambitions to become one of Europe´s leading consultancy companies specialising in sales, marketing and business development.

Today, Cordovan Group is already working with a number of well recognised international clients. The purpose of setting up in Brussels is to extend group services out into the broader European market for strategy, branding and digital solutions in sales and market development in support of existing clients, as well as to develop new clients based in Belgium.

In addition, Cordovan BVBA CEO Paul Nauwelaerts is introducing several clients to the new business from previous associations. Paul Nauwelaerts has a long and well recognised track record within the communications consultancy sector, working with companies such as VAN RAAK Oil & Oil derivates, BEKAERT Steel & Building Products, GROUP 4 Security & Safety and also with the Flemish Government.

“Recently, Cordovan Group published a new book ‘The Secrets of the EU-Paradox’, based on Stefan Lorentzson’s experiences as Volvo Group lobbyist in Brussels. We hope to utilise the experiences and contacts gained from this project to provide our new Brussels office with a head start”, says Magnus Penker, President of the Cordovan Group.
