Topic
The history of Royal BAM Group dates back more than 150 years. Although the construction-services business has grown to be the biggest Dutch construction company in 2017, the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be a difficult time also for them. In the last years, Royal BAM Group went through a big restructuring and transition of the organisation. This was needed to structurally improve the profitability which was a painful decision for the employees. Also, a new strategic agenda was defined in order to create more value for shareholders and solid prospects for the stakeholders, including employees. During this time, Mr. den Houter even temporarily took the role of CEO upon him.
