North America Edition
With effect from 1 January 2014 Robert Poelstra will enjoy his well-earned pension. Ronald started his career at Windig, the well known specialist in exotics. Later on this company was taken over by Vroegop-Windig, where he continued to work. The exotics took him to the most tropical locations, but finally the market at the Food Centre was a stable basis for him. From here he could maintain his business relations with suppliers such as Ocean Spray and be involved as account manager for, La Place, amongst others.
Vroegop-Windig is extremely proud that Ronald was employed by the company for a period of 47 years and will end the cooperation on a festive note on Friday.
Of course we wish Ronald all the very best and we take it for granted that he will thoroughly enjoy this new phase of his life!
In case you want to wish Ronald personally a good retirement, then you may e-mail him at:

or contact him by telephone on (020) 606 18 18.
