At Dekker Chrysanten in Hensbroek, the company works with a team of over 170 enthusiastic professionals. In their 'Face of the Family' feature, they introduce you to one of their colleagues every month. This month, they meet Walter Bolhoeve, the cooperating foreman at the technical department.
Walter has been working at Dekker Chrysanten for over 13.5 years and started his career there as a mechanic. Thanks to his commitment, technical knowledge, and passion, he has advanced to a coordinating role within the technical department.
His move to Dekker came via a secondment agency. "I was looking for something new and then the agency suggested I visit Dekker. When I walked in, I was immediately surprised by the technology used here. Much more advanced than I had expected!"
From mechanic to cooperating foreman"'In my current role, I take care of weekly planning, keep track of stock, and coordinate machine maintenance. Breakdowns often take priority, which means my day can be full of surprises. Sometimes I am dealing with a breakdown myself, other times I direct colleagues."
Working in a close-knit team
Besides the technical challenges, Walter particularly appreciates the atmosphere within the company. "Dekker feels like a family business. The management is involved and you notice that everyone here works as a team. That makes it easier to go the extra mile. That togetherness is in the whole company, and that feels good."
Continue to grow and innovate
Walter is positive about the future at Dekker Chrysanten, especially because of the constant innovation. "Every day there are new challenges due to technological advances. That makes the work not only interesting but also a place where I can keep developing myself. We work here with the latest techniques and keep innovating, which ensures that it never gets boring."
Diversity makes it worthwhile
"The variety and the many opportunities to develop yourself keep the work at Dekker Chrysanten challenging and interesting. For me, that really makes it a place where I enjoy working."
