I had the pleasure to work with Niek during multiple editions of the Angels of Light gala. His preciseness, hands-on mentality and reliability make him a highly skilled F&B manager. The way Niek takes care of his team is inspiring; he knows how to motivate his coworkers, has great social skills, and is a confident and natural leader. His enthusiasm and passion for hospitality are great ingredients for organizing big events. When doing this, Niek is not afraid to think ‘out of the box’, while still keeping a strong and clear vision on the main goals. I have nothing but positive memories of our time working together.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Niek for 1.5 years at Ramada Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Niek his dedication, personality and enthusiasm at work are a big part of my great memories at Ramada. Niek always puts his heart into his work, which is clearly feasible in everything he does. Whether it concerns implementing new ideas, new processes, new products or the constant care about his team and other colleagues. He always has the interest of the company at heart. In addition to this I would like to add that Niek is a very nice, pleasant and creative colleague and he always makes sure that the experience of the guest is everyone their main priority.
