Danish telecoms and energy group Norlys has announced the appointment of Jukka Pertola to the board of directors of its consumer services division, replacing Ulf Lund, who moved to TV2 last December. Pertola is chairman of the board of directors of companies such as GN Group, Cowi and Siemens Gamesa Denmark. His previous roles include CEO of Siemens Denmark until 2017, and chairman of the board of insurer Tryg from 2018 until 2026.

Danish group Norlys said its Norlys Digital telecoms and TV division was a particular factor behind a 6.5 percentage point drop in the group EBT margin in the 2025 financial year to minus 6.6 percent. This was because of high integration costs for EWII Fibernet and Telia Denmark and a weak performance in a very competitive market. Earnings before tax at the group were negative at DKK 1.08 billion, compared with an DKK 11 million loss before tax in 2024.
