Another Höglund joins the family’s tanker company

Yvonne Höglund is a certified HR specialist and the latest member of Furetank’s owner family to step into the company.

Ms Höglund has taken on the role of HR director, bringing experience from many years in retail and other industry segments. After studies, Ms Höglund paved her own path, gathering experience in business development and personnel policy from various companies, which she now brings to Furetank.

“I am proud and happy to join my siblings in the company and contribute to passing on what my father, his father and grandfather have created,” she said, “I grew up in shipping and have photos of myself as a toddler running around on deck with a baby bottle. This is an intriguing industry, and Furetank has chosen to invest great commitment in national shipping politics and the industry as a whole. I find it to be a very inspiring and stimulating work environment,” said Ms Höglund.

Furetank has always had a strong focus on caring for its employees, but given the rapid pace of company expansion in the past years, Ms Höglund sees a need for structures and systematics to be put in place in the HR area.

The large-scale recruitment of crews for the new Vinga vessels being delivered from the shipyard in the coming years is another main assignment, engaging the personnel and HR department for several years going forward.
