Ralph’s link with Marktlink
“Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the opportunity to look inside many different companies and sectors. Because of this I have discovered that my heart beats faster for real entrepreneurs. The passion, perseverance, entrepreneurial spirit and positivity that characterize many entrepreneurs are things I have a lot of respect for. I came across Marktlink across several acquisitions in the last years before I joined. Because of this I was immediately charmed by the down to earth mentality and the energy and entrepreneurial spirit that prevails within Marktlink. When I heard that Marktlink was going to open a branch in the North, it was immediately clear to me that I would like to contribute to this. I am very much looking forward to building a successful office in the North from Drachten in the coming years, where we hope to be able to successfully assist many entrepreneurs with the purchase and sale of their business.”
