Theme of the month: layered spaces trend
We have discovered in recent years that we can easily transform or divide up spaces. Living spaces were used as offices, childcare facilities or study areas. So rooms were used for multiple functions. This creates a certain layering, with functional furniture. This trend has continued, and you can now see it reflected in flowers and plants as well. We would like explain this and show you some examples.

Employee of the month: Piet van der Plas
Our sophisticated shipping system enables us to deliver flowers and plants all over the world. We thereby work a lot with external logistics companies. But florists in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany are supplied by our own drivers. These delivery employees deliver the finest products to florists six days a week. They set off early in the morning with their truck fully loaded. We rode along with delivery employee Piet van der Plas. Piet has been working at Heemskerk Flowers as a delivery employee for about three years. He showed us what his working day looks like. Will you join us?

At the age of 86, Kees Guyt is our oldest colleague. Last month he celebrated 25 years of employment at Heemskerk Flowers; a festive reason for an interview! The fact that he is still at work at this age surprises many people. But if Cees has any say in the matter, he’ll carry on working for at least the next few years. We talked to him about his work and what motivates him to keep working at his age.

Employee: Han Katerberg
At the end of the 1980s, A. Heemskerk B.V. was one of the fastest growing companies. That meant that it was looking for new employees almost every day. Hence Bert (Sr) words standing next to Han in the toilet in early September 1989 and spontaneously said: “You’re going to come and work for me!” This direct approach appealed to Han, and after a brief interview that same afternoon he joined the company.
