Peter’s expertise and commitment will primarily be used to strengthen Platform.as’ collaboration with contractors, helping them to see value-creating opportunities in the use of work platforms. It is already in the contractors’ bidding phase that Peter will offer them help to identify the types of tasks where platforms can streamline workflows in construction and renovation projects.
Casper Gorm Knudsen, CEO of Platform.as, states, “We are very pleased to welcome Peter to our team. With his extensive experience as a craftsman and contractor, as well as his vast knowledge of work platforms, we are confident that he will be a great asset to our company – and to the contractors who will use Peter’s advice during their bidding phase.”
Peter Knudsen has a long career behind him, stretching from his time as a bricklayer to his role as a contractor and business leader. He has been working with work platforms for over three decades, first at the contractor company Enemærke & Petersen, where he was instrumental in introducing the use of platforms for facade work, and later at Altan.dk, where he decided that all balcony projects, where possible, should be carried out from work platforms.
As a sales consultant at Platform.as, Peter’s tasks will be wide-ranging. In addition to advising contractors, he will also visit construction sites to inspect projects, develop new solutions and ideas for the sales department, and assist his colleagues with post-calculating bids.
“Peter’s unique background in the construction industry gives him a valuable understanding of the needs and challenges of the contractor industry, and his knowledge will strengthen Platform.as’ efforts to deliver innovative and effective solutions to contractors and craftsmen,” continues Casper Gorm Knudsen.
It’s not only the colleagues at Platform.as who are looking forward to collaborating and consulting with Peter Knudsen. Peter is also very excited to take on the new challenges at Platform.as.
“I know there is huge potential in using work platforms for the execution of all types of roof and facade tasks. I look forward to focusing on this, and I’m excited to contribute to Platform.as’ continued success and growth,” says Peter Knudsen, before concluding:
“It’s also important to remember that work platforms greatly contribute to improving the working environment. I have always believed that the work environment, including safety, is at least as important as efficiency and value when one’s employees are on construction sites.”
