Vestas top team quits as profit dips
The chairman of Vestas Wind Systems, the world’s largest maker of wind turbines, yesterday announced he will step down after last year’s profits fell substantially below target.
Bent Carlsen said in a live television interview that both he and deputy chairman Torsten Erik Rasmussen would leave the company.
Vestas’ revenue last year was €5.8 billion (£5bn), lower than forecast and 16 per cent weaker than in 2010.
