New Account manager
From the 1st of June 2023, we are pleased to welcome Paul Both to our team as an account manager. Paul is 34 years old, was born in Gouda, and grew up in Maassluis. Paul is no familiar face in the fresh produce world as he comes from the world of plants and flowers. For the past nine years, he worked as a purchaser for 4-Attention, part of FM Group, in Westland. "I did not buy flowers and plants, but all imaginable accessories for florists. Or in other words just about everything in floriculture that is not a living product."
After nine years as a purchaser, Paul states he is ready for a totally new challenge. He made a conscious decision not to do the same work for a different company. "I really want something completely different." After talking to friends and acquaintances in the fresh produce world, the new career path was quickly determined. Conversations with Mark confirmed the right feeling, and the match was made.
First impression
His first impression of Snijpunt, is that there is a lot going on within the company, but that it is all well organised. "I was really impressed by how neatly everything is structured. A lot happens, especially in terms of post-checks on machine production. But it is all accurate. Everything is well coordinated."
Paul enjoys interacting with people. It gives him energy. He therefore looks forward to interacting with customers. "To work together with customers to see how we can improve things even more, make our products fit their needs even better."
Making a new world your own
Besides getting energised by interacting with people, it also motivates him that Snijpunt is willing to train him in the sector. "It was immediately clear that there are plenty of opportunities and possibilities on offer to make this, for me, new world my own," he says. Paul is eager to learn and is looking forward to making plans with the team to welcome new customers as well as to further deepen cooperation with current customers.
Paul is excited. Over the coming period, he will get to know the organisation and its clients and, where possible, will be happy to come and meet you to discuss your needs and challenges. Paul will, of course, by no means be thrown in at the deep end. He will be guided one step at a time to further deepen the various accounts under his care.
