The Dutch Royal couple, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima paid a regional visit to Zeeland yesterday and arrived in the middle of the afternoon in Tholen where FreshPlaza's head office is based.
In the large hall of a neighboring company an area was prepared for eight companies to present themselves to the Royal couple. Uitgeverij Boekhout, FreshPlaza's parent company was one of these companies. In the absence of owners Pieter and Dirian Boekhout, Sander Bruins Slot and Corline Boekhout gave a presentation about the activities of our international websites and magazines for the fruit and vegetables trade, horticulture, the organic sector and the new interior design platform Wonen360.nl.
The Royal couple was clearly surprised about the worldwide network with which our newsletters, in seven languages reach more than 170,000 subscribers daily. Also the beautiful stand construction in a fruit and vegetable theme - realized by Zuidkoop - with photos of the Queen which have been taken by our colleagues over the years at several companies in the sector, was clearly appreciated.
