Goodbye Geriden

Dear Mr Mrs Miss Ms,

After a period of more than 30 years, Gerdien Vloet will resign from her commercial duties at the Hendriks Graszoden Group on 1 June 2022. To retain her knowledge and experience within our company, she has now joined the board of the Hendriks Graszoden Group. Her commercial duties will be taken over on that date by Jon Hesen (sales@hendriks-graszoden.nl).

Her career with us began with the takeover of Gramefo in Wanroij on 1 November 1991, where she soon took on the role of manager. In close cooperation with John Hendriks, the stadium market was developed further in the mid-1990s alongside the small business market. New cultivation, harvesting and logistics techniques were invented. In addition, new strategies were developed for field and stadium management, a unique concept that is still used to this day. John’s and Gerdien’s unique talents, particularly their knowledge and skill in cultivation, maintenance and sales, did not go unnoticed in the market. Highlights included the projects for Euro Disney, Uzbekistan, Iraq, and the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
After-sales services and the continuous search for improvements have made Hendriks Graszoden more than just a market leader. “You grow grass with your eyes” is her motto, and we can only agree.

Although not often in the spotlights, Gerdien was and is an important person in our organisation; her work and results speak for themselves. Her loyalty, knowledge and skills were, are and will remain unique, and as a token of appreciation and recognition we have immortalised her features in bronze.
Gerdien, thank you!

Erik Hendriks
