In June 2022, I successfully completed my training in Agro and Biotechnology, specializing in horticulture-vegetables. By undertaking this program, I had the basic knowledge of how things worked in a greenhouse. Through the internship I did, I already had some experience in the vegetable world, but not specifically in tomatoes. This sector appealed to me greatly, and I wanted to pursue a career in it.
I applied to many places, but after the initial interviews at Den Berk Délice, I knew this was the best choice. During my first visit to Den Berk Délice, I was immediately introduced to many people, giving me a different perspective on the company. This was followed by a comprehensive tour to help me get to know the location better. What immediately struck me was how clean and tidy everything was. There is also extreme attention to hygiene, which is crucial in the world of tomatoes.
I am very happy to have found a workplace where I go every day with full enthusiasm and passion, and that gives me a boost to keep going!
My first day at Den Berk Délice was on October 17, 2022. What immediately gave me a familiar feeling is that I can grow at my own pace, and I can indicate at any time if something is too much or if I can handle more. That was also something I found incredibly important! What also immediately caught my eye is how colleagues treat each other. Everyone is very friendly, there is good collaboration, and there is room for everyone's opinion. This way, everyone is valued, and everyone's input is taken into account."
I started as Assistant Harvest. Soon we transitioned into the crop change, where I was given more responsibility. I was well guided in this. If I had a question, I could definitely ask it, and time was really made for it. In the first three months, I had quite a variety of tasks. I learned to work in the greenhouse but also in the warehouse. I quickly noticed that the warehouse was really something for me. I can definitely see myself growing here in the future.
