Nuvias plans to further grow its Southern European business

London, England: 14th December, 2016: 10.00 a.m. GMT – Patric Berger has been appointed Regional Vice-President South for pan-EMEA high value distributor Nuvias Group. In his new role, he will be responsible for all business aspects within the Southern European region, which includes France, Italy, Spain, Malta and the Mediterranean.
