Meet the team behind de Smaakspecialist

De Smaakspecialist has grown a lot in the last few years. In september 2014 we literally grown out of our office in Ulvenhout and were forced to move into our current office in Bavel. Out team is counting around 30 employees, young and old, male and female, idealists and commercial types. But no mather if someone is a ‘die hard foodie’ or a ‘light green consumer’, everybody is equally enthusiastic to make our dream come true: making responsible, healthy food available for everybody, made with love and attention for humans, nature and the environment. Surrounded and inspired by our beautiful products, we go on a quest each new day to keep renewing, innovating, improving and inspiring.

Data Quality

Ben is responsible for all Logistics, Trade Marketing & Category Management. Among other things he gives direction to the Sales department and is the spider in the web between Purchase & Logistics, Quality and Customer Service. The innovative power of de Smaakspecialist spoke to him leading to him working here now. Ben loves the chocolate bars of RAW Organic Food. Not just because it’s scrumptious, but also because of the durable process that the bar goes through during production. Bens favourite recipe is buckwheat pancakes with a little bit of raw honey.

Hans van Gils is Financial Administrative Co-worker and has already had quite some experience in this position. He is happy to have made the step to ‘de Smaakspecialist’. A company with beautiful, healthy products, but above all tangible ones that surround you in the work environment. Hans actually likes everything, but likes bread the best. So the great variation in toppings of Smaakt like flower honey, the different kinds of jam and spreads may be a wholesome but mainly tasty choice.
