The Rotterdam law court last Tuesday confirmed the insolvency of the fruit and vegetable company Bakker & Leenheer in Barendrecht. According to the curator Jorin Hagendoorn of Schipper Noordam lawyers the company never overcame the disaster year 2009. "The last few years the company did rather well, but the results of 2009 remained as a millstone around the neck of the company. For quite a long time they tried to catch up with the damage, but that was unsuccessful." "Bakker & Leenheer is not an unhealthy company, however, and has a loyal group of customers. I therefore really hope that the company with new investment will be able to start again. At the moment discussions are being held with four parties" Hagendoorn says.
Bakker & Leenheer was started in 1988 by Rien Leenheer and Kundert Bakker. In 2008 the company started a far-reaching cooperation with a private investment company. In 2009 Rien and Kundert left the company and since then Erik-Jan Thur and Andre van Vugt had the daily management.
