After four inspiring years of growth, collaboration and perseverance our Managing Director, Joost van Haperen, has accepted a new challenge outside the VDL Groep.

He will officially step down from his position on April 15th to pursue this wonderful opportunity. We are very grateful to Joost for his analytical and organisational insights, the improvements he has achieved and his unwavering enthusiasm and dedication. We wish him every success in this new stage of his career.

We are delighted to announce that Kees du Pree will assume the role of Managing Director effective immediately. Kees is a familiar face at our three locations and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience within our field.

Our management team and colleagues are looking forward with great enthusiasm to the next steps on the path we have already embarked upon. His commitment, background and vision will help further develop and grow our organisation. The days leading up to April 15th will be used by Joost and Kees to handle the transition of responsibilities.
