Stories of our employees
Richard Vacquier Droop
Logistics employee
On April 3rd, 2018 I started working at Evers Specials. Before that, I worked at a transport company where I planned routes. I wanted more variety in my work and I definitely found this at Evers Specials. Here I am responsible for the logistics planning, communication with drivers and customers, taking orders, processing orders, helping growers with the production planning and more. I find this diversity and bustle the nicest thing about my work. And of course the customer contact. When we have resolved an issue and the customer is truly satisfied; I really find fulfilment in that. I love the approachable and informal culture at Evers Specials. When I worked here for two months, a growing cell with mung beans had to be emptied quickly and unexpectedly. I did this together with the managing director, so the production employees could continue with their work and the production line kept rolling as usual. I thought that was quite special.
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.
Michael Spithoven
Production employee
Around 7 years ago I started working at Evers Specials. As a production employee you are responsible for all the different steps in production. From harvesting the bean sprouts, to cleaning cells, or filling packages. I think it is important that everyone on the team enjoys themselves at work. That is why I am a member of the employees council. The best thing about working at Evers Specials is working in a team. We have a diverse team and a nice cooperation with each other. In addition, I like the flexibility here. I have never been told that something was not possible. For example, if I ever want to change something in my schedule, it can be arranged.
