Pedro Matthynssens: ‘I’m very proud that we have so much talent in-house and are able to encourage its growth in an effective manner. As an employer, we’re investing all the time in recruiting, training and developing our employees. We do our utmost to create opportunities for each individual, so that everyone can reach their full potential. That’s paying off, as is clear again today. These organisational changes mean we’ll now be raising our game even further. Our organisation continues to grow non-stop in terms of both turnover and number of employees, so we’re always looking for new, diverse talent.’
