He has been associated with Van Abeelen for many years and has had a remarkable career path.<\/p>\n<p>Van monteur tot ondernemer en nu actief in de commerci\u00eble kant van de organisatie. Tijd om hem beter te leren kennen.<\/p>\n<h4>Wat is je ochtendritueel voordat je werkdag begint?<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cMijn dag begint vrij rustig. Eerst een kop koffie, daarna de hond uitlaten. Vervolgens maak ik de broodtrommels voor de kinderen klaar. Dat is een vast ritme voordat de werkdag echt begint.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Wie ben jij buiten Van Abeelen?<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cIk woon samen met mijn vrouw Jacqueline en onze twee kinderen, Anne Sophie en Jan Willem. In mijn vrije tijd sport ik graag en ga ik regelmatig ski\u00ebn.<\/p>\n<p>Daarnaast treed ik op met mijn band Die Stadlfreunde, wat natuurlijk altijd gezellig is. Ook coach ik het jongens 1 hockeyteam. Dat geeft veel energie.<\/p>\n<p>Als persoon ga ik recht op mijn doel af. Als ik ergens voor ga, wil ik dat doel ook echt bereiken. Daarbij probeer ik de mensen om mij heen mee te nemen. Opgeven is voor mij eigenlijk geen optie.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Is de functie die je nu hebt ook de functie die je eerder in je carri\u00e8re had?<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cNee, zeker niet. Mijn loopbaan begon als monteur in de werkplaats. Daarna werd ik werkvoorbereider en later bedrijfsleider. Vervolgens ben ik twee keer interim-directeur geweest en uiteindelijk zelfstandig ondernemer geworden.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017 is mijn toenmalige bedrijf Unifreezing overgegaan naar Van Abeelen. Vanaf dat moment ben ik me meer gaan richten op de commerci\u00eble kant van het werk.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Welke momenten of projecten zijn je het meest bijgebleven?<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cHet eerste gezamenlijke project na de overgang van Unifreezing naar Van Abeelen staat me nog goed bij. Daarbij verkochten we drie spiraalvriezers met drie bijbehorende koelinstallaties. Dat was een mooie start van de samenwerking.<\/p>\n<p>Daarnaast zijn er natuurlijk meer momenten geweest. Binnen ons Food-team maken we momenteel grote, positieve stappen vooruit. Daar ben ik echt trots op.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this edition of Employee in the Spotlight, we meet Jeroen, our head of sales Food Processing Technology.
