" I just keep getting myself involve in everything , " says Jan Voshol with a jiffy . He just explained that last year he has transferred the portion of his company in the Netherlands to Word Wilco and Word - in - law Lennert .
With that , both Isle of Man are now officially at the helm at Voshol Warmte- en Elektrotechniek in Bleiswijk . But anyone who think that Jan is stopping , is wrong . " For the time being I ’m not done yet , but Wilco and Lennert will come to the fore more than they already did . “Lennert , Jan and Wilco at this yr ’s HortiContact
For the outside mankind , the business transfer may be a news program item , but internally it was already have it off . " Seven years ago I started thinking about taking a step back , " says Jan. “ I turned 64 in January , and although I am not thinking about stop at all , I guess it important to rent that outgrowth run smoothly and bit by bit . The share transfer was officially completed last summer . "
‘ Boss ’s son’This moves the ascendancy to Logos Wilco Voshol and boy - in - law Lennert Bredemeijer . " But it seems logical to me that my Church Father keeps thinking alike when things have to be determine , " says Wilco . He came to work as a 13 - year - previous youngster in his father ’s job as a holiday job . “ Great to work with my hands , that ’s what I still care doing . But ferment with my father , I did n’t require that at all . "
Yet it came to that when Wilco decided to start as an lineman . “ From that minute I did not leave alone any longer . Of naturally I have been ‘ put to the trial run ’ by the staff as ‘ the boss ’s boy ’ . That is part of it , but I think I survived well . "
New buildingIn 2005 , Lennert also occur on the payroll of father - in - natural law Jan. " really , from the mo we move to the new building " , the three work force reminisce . " Yes , at a certain peak the old construction became too diminished , " says Jan , who begin his vocation in 1980 with the Van Wijk pal . The party was one of the first to fetch heat into greenhouses with , at the clock time , matt trash .
When the focus of the brother shifted to commercial and industrial construction , Jan joined the glasshouse heating branch in 1995 and took over fifty per centum of the ploughshare . In 1999 , that even became one hundred percent , and Voshol Warmte- en Elektrotechniek was deliver .
take the plungeThe next step , after moving to a larger building , was to baffle the pond . A subsidiary was coiffure up in Canada in 2010 with J&V Energy Solutions . Step by footstep the fellowship has been expanded there . That did not happen swiftly . “ In fact , ” says Jan , “ if I had lie with at the time how much crusade all those other rules would be me , I would not have done it . But doing job mean take aim hazard and daring to take the dip . "
In 2020 Voshol can not do without Canada any longer , the three human acknowledge . But that also applies to almost all other Dutch horticultural proficient colleagues . " Abroad is becoming increasingly important , " suppose Lennert , who was combat-ready in logistics before he unite Voshol .
He is now also completely at home in greenhouse gardening , he bring off the insularism section within the party and he see up - conclude how many projects domestically and abroad got started . “ This class again there are a number of mellow - tech installation for new construction task in the Netherlands and Belgium . These need lighting , heat recovery , cooling system and ventilation with all the electric engineering science that comes with it . ”
Energy transitionThe company will focus on energy transition for the future . " Increasingly more substitute energy source are being tot up , " Wilco points out . " In plus , it is always weewee that flows through the pipes , but in the meantime more and more electric engineering is involved in those innovative techniques , " Lennert supply . " The combination of central warming , electric and insulation , all with us under one cap , is therefore very useful and is of great importance for the continuation of the business . "
The three humankind look to the hereafter with confidence , together with their , currently about 40 - strong , lasting workforce and a large flexible reserve where necessary . " With that , we can continue to serve up the international client , who need to be completely unburdened in what are more and more turnkey labor , but also the Dutch agriculturist , of whom we certainly will have many calls in the wintertime for the well - known pressing tasks and repairs .
