Get to know… Johan!

Each and every day, this sporty man cycles to work in all weathers. As of 1 March, Johan has been employed for 22 years and isn’t unknown to many of you. Nevertheless, he likes to introduce himself and tell us about his journey at NIFA.

‘Before I joined NIFA, I worked for a few other wholesalers distributing technical and chemical products. Compared to this, NIFA’s products are completely different. It is already some years ago that I started as an employee working at the warehouse. At that time I had a variety of responsibilities at NIFA. Over the years our team has grown, so jobs and responsibilities have become more specified. This ultimately gives everyone more focus, peace of mind and works efficiently.’

‘In the meantime, I’m responsible entering and sorting out incoming orders and answering questions from customers instead of working at the warehouse. Doing so gives me a lot of satisfaction. Every day I enter NIFA with a positive sense of well-being. Everything is well organized as far as I’m concerned and I have lovely colleagues. There’s always room for a little chat while working and company outings are always great fun, especially the sportive ones. And if you need any tools to do your job, they arrange them neatly.’

In his spare time, he enjoys going to sport to unload, but also to gain energy. During winter, he is most often found at the gym working out, but as soon as the weather allows, he likes to get on his race bike. From training a few times a week to weekend tours in the Veluwe, France or Germany. Besides, Johan has been practicing sports massages for years: it is a hobby that sometimes got out of hand in the past.
