Stories of our employees
Frank Roelofs
Grower
I started working at Evers Specials as a grower in November 1994. Evers Specials was, at that time, my first employer. This year, however, I am celebrating my 30 years of service. I am responsible for the growing process: from the importation of the beans to delivering a full cell of bean sprouts to the production department. They then take over. I have always had an interest in engineering, agriculture and electronics. These elements are all reflected in my job. What I like most about working at Evers Specials are the projects to set up processes more effectively and efficiently. When I came here, for example, we had to manually pull heavy bags of mung beans into the culture cells. We improved this with the development of the "bean tank." Nowadays, the mung beans are automatically distributed into the cells by only pushing a few buttons. I have tried several bean sprout recipes with my family. Our favorite remains the nasi. In that, our bean sprouts are really indispensable. Isn't that nice, such a tangible end result.
Marina Panosian
Administrative assistant
I started working at Evers Specials in September 2017. I had several jobs before that, but they did not suit me. I immediately felt at home at Evers. The best thing about working at Evers Specials is the good working atmosphere and the fact that you can learn a lot here. As a team, we learn new things from each other, and we look for ways to make our work run as efficiently and smoothly as possible. I recently started a part-time Finance and Control study so that I can do my work even better in the future. I take classes on Tuesday evenings and Fridays. This will take four years. I am grateful that Evers Specials offers me the opportunity to continue studying and to develop myself further.
Shakita Sardjoesingh
Small packaging employee
I have been working at Evers Specials for a year and a half now. I'm from Suriname and there I worked in a restaurant. I met my husband in Suriname and he worked at Evers Specials for 11 years. When we were married, I moved to the Netherlands and later also started working at Evers Specials. I work in the small packaging department and I ensure that all packaging is ready on time to go to our customers. The colleagues are the best thing about working at Evers Specials. I believe you need to have fun at work and feel comfortable. I have nice colleagues with whom I can get along really well. What I find special about Evers Specials is seeing how the bean sprouts grow in the cells. When I tell people that bean sprouts germinate from a bean, they are very surprised.
Alfred Kersten
Logistics planner
Since 2021, I have been working at Evers Specials. I came here via a colleague. I am responsible for the day-to-day export planning, especially exports to Germany. My background as a truck driver comes in handy; I know the routes in south-Germany like the back of my hand. What makes my job challenging is the variety. We are always looking for new opportunities. Whether it is exploring new export markets or improving our current transport routes. What I like best about working at Evers is the contact with colleagues. I think we complement each other very well. Evers has an open and flat organizational culture where everyone has a say. In January, we had an Evers' Family Day where family and friends were invited to visit the company. My daughter was there too, she found it very interesting
