Having never traveled further than Greece for a summer holiday, I had to mentally process this question. Hong Kong, 3 years, living and working there. That would be a slightly different life than commuting every day from Uden to Veghel. After some kitchen table conversations with my wife Inez, we concluded: why not? So, we took the leap and went to work and live in Hong Kong as one of the first expats of Vanderlande.
What an experience! A different culture, working 6 days a week, traveling to work by boat and enjoying nice holidays in Thailand, China and New Zealand.
In Hong Kong I experienced for the first time the ‘can do’ mentality of Vanderlande and how important it is that you can rely on and trust your colleagues. With only a few Vanderlande people on site we had to make it happen together.
Looking back, it was a decision we will never regret and an experience we will never forget.
