“Making the switch from 5 years working at a hearing aid centre to a health & safety products company was a major step. Thankfully, the uncertainty was short-lived. I was welcomed with open arms from day one on the guided tour at the company’s Boechout headquarters. Everyone was friendly and delighted to hear I’d be part of the team. The friendly atmosphere made me instantly realise why Vandeputte is referred to as a family business.

During those first few weeks, I was wholly immersed in Vandeputte’s story and all the products the company sells. After a few information BST training sessions, I realised that Vandeputte is about more than just the products they supply. The know-how and service on offer are nothing short of compelling.

As an audiologist, my focus at the company mainly goes out to hearing protection and noise measurements. The entire Custom Safety team was readily available to answer all my questions on safety goggles, safety shoes and arch support inserts. Griet Van Vooren was kind enough to take me under her wing, introducing me to the ins and outs of Custom Safety over a number of weeks. Her patience and expertise prepared me in no time to hit the road.

All in all, I’ve been extremely happy since day one with my decision to apply for a job with Vandeputte.”
