CEO Egon Diekstra on Hamilton Bright and the one-liner that was pinned to the wall from the start in 2000: “That one-liner was my reason for founding Hamilton Bright. Developing excellent activities for our clients with passion, conviction and vision of the market. Because we could see plenty of areas for improvement – and that makes working fun.”

Egon comes from a grocers’ family with a philosophy that others can never do what you can do yourself better or more cheaply. “These days, that is no longer true. The keenness to show that outsourcing different activities to Hamilton Bright is profitable is in our DNA. We currently have a couple of hundred staff, we maintain our focus on service and the segment, and there is room for autonomy and enterprise in the company. Experimenting is an important condition for ongoing development and our employee and customer involvement is huge. Those are the basic ingredients that make Hamilton Bright the best company in our field.”

Like so many, our General Manager Body & Healthcare and Food, Martine Jacobse, wants to enjoy her work every day. At Hamilton Bright, so she relates, she has found that enjoyment, and every day there is something else that makes her smile. Martine translates enjoyment into energy which in turn results in growth, good relations with customers and, last but not least, results.

Results are always within Martine’s reach, however big the challenge. She describes working at Hamilton Bright in five words: results-focused, involved, enthusiastic, educational and enjoyable.
