Cream of the crop, - with certificate!

The proverb says paper is patient. Very patient indeed, because while you read this, Jan Grysouille, foreman of the field teams, has been with Van Os-Sonnevelt for 26 years.

Jan started his career one day before Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo would play their very first concert in South Africa. And no diamonds on the soles of his shoes for Jan: on Friday, January 10, 1992, Belgium was covered under a thick layer of snow, - but that did not prevent him from doing the first deliveries for the Brussels Motor Show in good time.

In the meantime, Jan has become a walking encyclopaedia of trade fair and convention centers, event venues, hotels and all buildings where a meeting could possibly be held. As the powerbroker of our company, he forms the indispensable link between the planning department and the teams in the field. He ensures that the trucks are loaded and unloaded on time, he shows his colleagues the fastest way to get from A to B and ensures that all customers are serviced at the agreed time.

Surely, Belgian Labour Minister Kris Peeters must have noticed too that Jan is a very special colleague to all of us. He sent him - with a certain delay - the official diploma of Laureatus of Labour. We knew he was top notch, - and now we have the certificate to prove it !


Sorry, we do not have any videos about Jan. So, how about Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo once again?
