From the beginning of this year, Johan van Beek is our new Product Manager. Johan joined us in 2015, has been away for a while and returned in 2020. In his first period at Hoenderdaal, he worked in our inside sales team and in our filed team. In his second period, he joined us as Inside Sales Manager and directed our inside sales team.  

We searched for almost 2 years after Jos Kaat's sudden death in 2020 to fill this very specific and crucial position within our company. And what appeared? We simply had the ideal candidate for this position in-house! Johan has already done a few product-management tasks last year and, starting this year, working  full-time, leading our PM-marketing team. There are lots of new products coming in 2023, so Johan will have his hands full! More on these new items later! 

To fill the space Johan left behind in the inside sales department, Henk Teeuwissen was moved on to the role of inside sales team leader at the beginning of this year. He is the internal point of contact for the ins and outs of our inside sales department and leads this team. Henk 'only' joined us in 2020, but he developed quickly. Nice that he can take a step forward in this way.
