Last Saturday many of us were in Burgerveen
for the first edition of the Looye Olympics.
Everything was put together bright and early by
a few of our colleagues: flags were set in place,
tables folded out and parasols were arranged.
At around half past two backpacks were handed
out to all of the athletes, along with the schedule
and a snack. It turned out to be a great area for
sports or simply to hang out together. There was
also a bouncy castle available to entertain the
children.
All teams did their best in all five of the
disciplines and the level of competition on
LOOYE OLYMPICS 2016
display was outstanding! The beautiful weather,
delicious barbecue and Looye DJ provided the
rest. Despite some nasty injuries along the way
the day went well and the ‘De Rupsen’ Team from
Burgerveen managed to take the spoils and a
big challenge trophy home with them.
I would like to express my gratitude to the
organising committee and everyone who lent
a helping hand on the day for their fantastic
eff orts. I also want to thank the athletes for their
performance on the day and ... we were so proud
that we decided that this simply has to become a
tradition.
The next edition of the Looye Olympics will
therefore be held on: SATURDAY - 26 August
2017

On Monday, 22 August we had an unusual visitor
in the parking lot in Naaldwijk as a hedgehog
decided that the piece of ground behind Niels
Roodenrijs’s car was a good place to take a
break. When Niels walked to his car after work at
the end of the day he noticed the little creature
sitting there. As befits a true animal lover Niels
knew immediately that something was not quite
right, especially considering that hedgehogs
are nocturnal and very shy. The fact that the
hedgehog simply sat there set off alarm bells for
Niels. After consultation by phone he decided to
take the little critter to a hedgehog rescue centre
in Delft, where they confirmed that it was good
that he had brought it in. It appeared to be a
very weak female hedgehog , but they confirmed
that they would be able to get her back on her
feet again. They named her Eva. Could it be a
coincidence that Eva decided to rest behind
Niels’ car?
We have since contacted the hedgehog rescue
centre in Delft and they told us that Eva was her
old self again and they would be able to release
her next week.
AN UNUSUAL VISITOR
INTRODUCING... Marc Janssen & Tina Tsaparas
In late May our permanent quality manager
left the employment of Looye Kwekers, which
meant that we had to find a replacement for
this position.
Marc Janssen and Tina Tsaparas were
appointed with effect from 1 August to bring
a fresh perspective to quality management at
Looye Kwekers.
Marc is an independent entrepreneur and
through his company HortiQuality he is
constantly solving issues related to quality
management and the implementation of
quality systems. Marc works 1.5 days a week
for Looye Kwekers and he will mainly deal with
quality assurance in Looye’s greenhouses. A
uniform hygiene protocol within the nurseries is
an important part of his duties.
Tina Tsaparas is following a traineeship at N&S
Quality Consultants, which she will attend one
day a week, while she will be working at Looye
Kwekers on the other four days. She will mainly
be responsible for quality related aspects at
the packaging division and outline the quality
systems related to the office in Naaldwijk.
Together they will play an important part at
quality care for Looye and Marc and Tina are
working towards implementing a Looye quality
system. She requires cooperation from all of the
departments to provide answers to some key
issues. You are very likely to run into Marc and
Tina in the near future!

As you know preparations are in
full swing for the upcoming Works
Council elections, which will be held
on 12 October 2016.
We have 15 candidates, so
competition will be fi erce. This is also
the reason why Arja, Tomek, Niels
from the Marketing department and
I sat around the table last week to
discuss the Works Council candidates.
Topics included a candidate poster
and a special edition of Tomaat en
Praat.
We decided that a poster with photos
and a few words from the candidates
for the Works Council had to be
issued. You may already have seen
these posters that are currently on
display at various locations.
Niels was responsible for the layout
of the poster and he is also in charge
of the extra edition of Tomaat en
Praat. The coaches at the various
locations helped to collect information about the
candidates.
Arja and the members of the ‘Get the taste’
group are busy with preparations and this is sure
to be very exciting.
The election dates and the list of employees
who are eligible to vote for their favourite
candidates have already been announced. If all
went according to plan you should already have
received an invitation from Arja for a briefi ng.

WORKS COUNCIL CANDIDATES POSTER
VOTE ON YOUR FAVOURITE CANDITATE IN THE
WC ELECTIONS ON THE 12TH OF OCTOBER.
By: Arja Hilberdink
We all got a big fright this past Wednesday in
Naaldwijk as one of our colleagues became
unwell at work.
Fortunately, many people within our company
have undergone first aid training, which was
good to see. A group of employees took the
person who had become unwell to a cooler
and calmer area, while someone called 112 and
yet another went to fetch the AED (automated
external defibrillator).
The police and ambulance arrived very quickly to
take over from our colleagues.
You will be happy to hear that our colleague is
doing much better, but it will still take some time
before full recovery.
In retrospect we are truly grateful with how well
this situation was handled!
Thank you! Great job!
BIG FRIGHT!
Hi! My name is Marcin Kogut and I’m 27 years
old. I come from Poland from an area called
Tarnów in the province of Małopolskie. I have
been working at Looye for the past 5 months.
At work I am mostly busy de-leafi ng and cutting
tomatoes, which I enjoy very much.
... in your personal life?
I came to the Netherlands with my fi ancé
because we wanted to come and work here
so that we can fulfi l our dreams in Poland. We
currently live in Vlaardingen. My main interests
include sports and cars and in my spare time I
try to relax, go shopping or visit some interesting
places in my area.
... in your work?
At work I’m surrounded by great people who
are very responsive and who are always ready
to help. I’m very grateful for that. Clearing of
greenhouse no. 1 is taking place at the moment
and it is interesting to follow the whole process
from start to fi nish and to actually be a part of it.
... in the world?
The world is beautiful, but people are busy
destroying it. You hear about ongoing armed
confl ict, aggressions and terrorist attacks in
the news all the time. This is terrible, especially
because children and innocent people are the
ones who suff er most. I hope that violence and
bloodshed will become something of the past.
