Véronique - General Manager
"On July 1, 2025, I started as General Manager of Bronkhorst Netherlands in Veenendaal. Before joining Bronkhorst, I spent seventeen years working in the water industry, much of that time in international sales and management positions. During the last ten years of my career, I worked in a corporate environment. While I learned a great deal there, I eventually felt the need for more entrepreneurship, greater freedom, and an organization where the human side of business plays a more central role. I was already familiar with Bronkhorst by reputation. In Twente, where I come from, the company is known as a socially engaged and people-oriented employer. The combination of being a family-owned business, its entrepreneurial mindset, and its warm company culture immediately appealed to me. Ultimately, that is what motivated me to make the move. What made this transition even more special was my conscious decision to take on a national role. For many years, I worked internationally and was primarily focused outward, but I found it increasingly interesting to focus on the Dutch market. At the same time, I continue to learn about the many applications of our products. What still surprises me is the incredible variety of industries and processes in which our flow solutions are used. The breadth of applications is remarkable and continues to broaden my perspective every day."
Koen - IT System Engineer
"My first introduction to Bronkhorst was in 2012, when I did an internship during my vocational IT program. I deliberately chose a large local company where technology and professionalism come together. After completing both my vocational degree and a bachelor’s in IT Business Management, I spent six years working at an IT service provider in the datacenter sector. It was challenging and educational, but over time I missed the personal connection with the people behind the work. The daily commute also became less appealing, and I liked the idea of cycling to work again. In September 2023, I returned to Bronkhorst as an IT System Engineer. From people I knew locally, I already understood the company remained a great employer. The only question was whether I would connect just as well with my new colleagues, which turned out not to be an issue at all. I have not regretted my decision for a moment."
Marcella - Learning & Performance Officer
“I joined Bronkhorst in 1999, initially working in Marketing. At that time, I had no idea I would eventually build a career in Learning & Development. Over the years, I gradually discovered where my real passion lies: helping people learn and grow. After about ten years, I decided to follow that passion and completed a part-time primary education degree alongside my job. During my studies in Educational Science, I was introduced to the 70:20:10 learning model, an approach that shows that most learning happens on the job, a significant part comes from learning with and from others, and a smaller portion comes from formal training. As my interests developed, I naturally moved closer to the field of learning and development within Bronkhorst. A few years later, I was offered a role in Learning & Development, which turned out to be the perfect fit. The combination of my teaching background and my organizational and international experience allowed me to support, train and coach colleagues in their development. Bronkhorst truly encourages learning, exploration and personal growth. That environment gave me the opportunity to apply my knowledge, such as the 70:20:10 model, across the organization, helping to make learning an integral part of everyday work. It also enabled me to grow step by step into my current role as Learning & Performance Officer."
Mikay - BBL ICT
“My name is Mikay, and I am working as an ICT BBL student at Bronkhorst. I joined the company through my studies, and from day one it has felt like a place where I can grow. Bronkhorst actively invests in the BBL program, and you can really notice that I am given the opportunity to explore, learn, and challenge myself. As a first-line ICT support specialist, I deal with a wide variety of technical issues, from printer problems and laptop malfunctions to software-related questions. Everything passes through our department. What I learn at school can be directly applied in practice here, which works perfectly for me. Learning by doing allows me to grow faster and gain deeper understanding. My supervisor, Gerald, provides a great balance between independence and support. Sometimes I am pushed out of my comfort zone, but always with guidance when needed. This keeps me motivated and sharp. Because of the dynamic work environment, I have also learned to plan better and set priorities, something I previously found challenging. Now it gives me structure and clarity in my work."
