Having grown up in the beautiful green surroundings of the Betuwe, I knew what I wanted from a young age. At that time, the tree nursery sector was undergoing substantial growth, with which I was able to hitch a ride straight after secondary school. I started out with 16.000 rootstocks on a plot my grandma had. I was able to borrow machinery from my brother, who is also a nursery man. I had to visit my customers on the moped, because I did not have a driving license yet. Those were wonderful times which now, arround 30 years later, I look back on fondly. Sure, a great deal has changed, but passion for quality and a personal approach are just important to me as ever.
