This week, we held a celebration together with our colleague Julién van Cleemput to mark 12.5 years since he joined the company. A great reason to celebrate, and to hear from him what's behind his 12.5 years with VB. He told us:

'Twelve and a half years? In fact.... it's actually a bit longer than that....

I first came to work at VB-Airsuspension back in July 2008 when I got a position through an employment agency. In February 2009, I officially joined the company as a 'parts sales representative', with 'aftersales' being added later on. I then progressed to organising trade fairs and supporting sales. During this period, I regularly came into contact with the same customers, which back then led to my first region as an Account Manager. I was also involved with the works council & staff association, and undertook the implementation of AX & CRM for my department. During these years, I really got to experience the changes and growth at VB first-hand: from around 25 people on the payroll to the company it is today!

I am currently responsible as Area Sales Manager for Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and Italy, among others. The 'VB-Italie' subsidiary was set up at the start of this year, which means that I can now turn my attention to Spain and Portugal.

It's been more than 12.5 years now, but each day is just as challenging and varied as the last, and I continue to enjoy all that working at VB-Airsuspension means.'

Julién, we would like to wish you many more happy years working at VB and congratulations on this anniversary!
