Why I’ve been with Center Parcs for 25 years
Because I’ve changed jobs every two years! I started out as a restaurant manager, then headed up Food & Beverage, before going on to manage Operations and then several parks. Today, I’m Managing Director of Center Parcs Netherlands. If you’re flexible and enthusiastic, the opportunities within this Group are immense, and it has offered me many of them. In this company, you’ll find support, mentors and training to help you develop in a very personalised way.
What I like about the Center Parcs culture
We’re in the tourism and leisure sector, the atmosphere isn’t really ‘corporate’ and we do a great job: what could be better than giving families a great holiday? I love being out in the field, spending time in the Parks, cycling around, talking to the teams and customers. That’s where it all happens! And there’s always room for improvement to satisfy our guests and staff. For example, we are developing a programme in our villages called Happy Family Makers, which aims to further improve service quality by training our staff. I spend a lot of time on it, it’s important.
For me, ‘Reconnecting with what’s essential’ means
Being on the water, with those I love. I’m a fan of water sports. When my children were little, we used to swim, but now they’re young adults and they want action! I go boating with my daughter and windsurfing with my son.
“I’m totally committed to my work, but I have the freedom to disconnect completely, and I can do so because I work with my teams and management in a framework of trust.”
“Then I was asked to be an ambassador for the Group Foundation. I’d always wanted to be involved with an association, and now it was possible to do so in a corporate context.”
“It’s a real vote of confidence and it’s also very rewarding to be approached internally for a job you’d never thought of.”
“I have a great deal of freedom and autonomy to develop and manage the countries for which I’m responsible. […] What I like here is the team spirit. If you need support, you’ve got it.”
“Although maeva is growing fast, we still operate like a small organisation: everyone knows everyone else, we work in close proximity and flexibly”
“In practical terms, we can’t do anything without our teams. So it’s very important to support your teams by being close to them and on the ground.”
“When I started here as a receptionist, I saw how the hotel worked at every level. […] The work of each and every one of us makes this site a success.”
“Bringing joy is what our job is all about. But what we do for these struggling families is very powerful.”
“Today, Mission Handicap is very active and very present in the company and thanks to it I feel protected, supported.”
