Who are you? Where do you live?
My name is Raymond van Elswijk, I was born and raised in bustling Rotterdam. Until 2022 I always lived there as well until I took the plunge and moved to the Sint-Annaland on the island of Tholen in Zeeland.
How did you end up working at HAWE?
My previous employer had some financial challenges. Because of this, I got into a conversation with KUBO. They brought the news that they were acquiring HAWE. This gave me a reassuring feeling. It was good to see that there was still confidence in our team. Especially since I have been with HAWE since 1984.
What position do you hold at HAWE? What are you responsible for?
At HAWE, I fulfill the role of supervisor and executor. My duties are varied: from supervising jobs abroad to commissioning the last 10% of a project together with a programmer. Sometimes I even do remodeling jobs. I also visit customers to understand their needs and rebuild trust with the new HAWE.
What appealed to you about coming to work for HAWE?
What makes HAWE so attractive to me is the family feeling. When I saw the management of KUBO Group, consisting of people with more than 50 years of experience in the business, I knew this was the right place for me. The same family feeling as back then resurfaced. After a few conversations with employees and delving deeper into KUBO Group, I knew for sure that I wanted to work here.
