Wennesland returns to Beehive Research

Wennesland (pictured) will join Beehive Research’s board in an advisory role, having ended a previous spell in the firm’s executive team in 2018 to explore other opportunities.

Wennesland, who remained a shareholder in Beehive Research after he left the company, was one of the company’s co-founders in 2007 alongside managing director Paul Kavanagh.

Before re-joining Beehive Research, Wennesland was chief business development officer for manufacturing resource planning software company Eziil, and has experience working with rapid growth start-up companies in Estonia.

Kavanagh said: “In a challenging economic climate, our ambition for the next 15 years and beyond is to grow our business further – with expertise, services and products – to provide companies with the consultancy and insight they need to survive and thrive.

“It’s great to have Rune back on the team, and his experience working with entrepreneurial companies in recent years will prove extremely useful as we plan for the future.”
