The EILO board has appointed Benoit Pelleriaux as new chairman. He will succeed Robert van Aerts who chaired EILO over the last three years.
Pelleriaux wants to proceed with the chosen strategy to further build EILO as a strong organization attracting new members from different European countries. By organizing conferences such as in Zürich and Lyon where knowledge can be shared, EILO can inspire as well as connect interior landscape designers. Which is also important with a view to a strong lobby in Brussels. Furthermore, over the coming years Pelleriaux would like EILO to actively propagate the added value and unique selling points of the interior landscaping profession towards potential new customers such as architects and interior designers.
As owner and director of company Any Green in Belgium Pelleriaux has over 20 years of experience in the profession of interior landscaping, as well as being fluent in German, English, French and Dutch.
At the EILO conference Pelleriaux paid tribute to his predecessor van Aarts, who has been very active in widely promoting EILO within Europe.
