Ik heb August leren kennen toen hij vanuit zijn toenmalige werkgever een ambitieus plan kwam presenteren over de productie en levering van private label voerconcepten. August is één van de weinige in de branche die een grote inhoudelijke kennis over productie, grondstoffen & voedingsbehoeftes kan koppelen aan het creëren van (nieuwe)concepten & assortimenten die aanhaken op behoefte van consumenten. Daarbij heeft hij kennis over en oog voor marketing en verpakkingen. Hij is altijd op zoek naar nieuwe bijzondere grondstoffen en productietechnieken alsook naar nieuwe samenstellingen, producten & concepten. Zijn brede kennis maakt hem verder zeer geschikt als sparring partner in diverse commerciële zaken maar ook in het verzorgen van kennisoverdracht aan bijvoorbeeld winkelmedewerkers. Zijn enthousiasme gekoppeld aan zijn brede en diepgaande kennis maken dat je graag met hem zaken doet.

August is a high-professional but also pleasant businesspartner to cooperate with. Besides his huge knowledge of nutritional facts, I experienced also a large involvement, open and honest communication and even fun during the meetings. Currently, his personal ambitions to develop further as a Animal- and Petfood Specialist are bigger than ever. I'm sure that he could be of big value for those, who needs some innovation in their productportfolio. For any Innovationprojects in the field of Animal- and Petfood, I would recommend him as your Consultant.

      IJsselakkers advises retailers and suppliers in the pet branch, small animal feed producers and independent pet shops. IJsselakkers offers them extensive knowledge of the (Dutch) pet branch, also knowledge of the digestion of many animals and knowledge of the properties of hundreds of (for pet food suitable) raw materials. The advice may include nutritional advice or opinions on range or positioning. IJsselakkers also can provide product information to (new) feeds and be your sparring partner when it comes to pet- and small animal feed innovation. (IJsselakkers ended december 2014, but activities for pet retailers continue through my holding company 'Via Organica') Show less
