Bram van Overloop
“I have worked here for thirteen years and I enjoy it. I am proud of my work and my colleagues. Smits Tree Nurseries is a progressive company that continues to evolve.”
Ricardo van Gool
“It’s the variety that makes the work so enjoyable. I am the foreman of the harvesting team, but I also often prune plants. And, also important, there is a lovely working atmosphere with my colleagues.”
Jan van Vechel
“We have a unique product range, which is partly because we can supply both small and large sizes. I have been in the profession for more than thirty years. I am still excited about selling products, because I stand behind them one hundred percent. This energises me.”
