Marjolein continues, “Regulatory requirements and customer expectations are becoming increasingly complex, driven by rising sustainability standards and a growing volume of information to manage. By digitalising our processes and working more efficiently, we can achieve better quality with the same number of people while continuing to grow. Our operations are scalable, and our people can be deployed more flexibly. This allows us to distribute tasks proportionally and integrate new customers into our system with greater ease. Together, we make work manageable, efficient and more enjoyable as we take steps towards becoming a Future Fit organisation.” Career advancement at Royal Lemkes Vincent joined Royal Lemkes 11 years ago, Jeffrey 10 years ago and Marjolein eight years ago. All three began their careers in the back office and have since progressed into leadership roles within the organisation. Along with nine other young professionals, they completed the Management Development Programme — a two-year course designed to build leadership skills. The members of the trio have been in their current roles since 2024. Vincent explains, “The programme helped prepare us for the next stage in our careers and the roles we took on in 2024. Change management, a topic that was also covered in the programme, is now more relevant than ever.” Marjolein notes that Royal Lemkes provides employees with the opportunity to advance their careers: “I was given not only the opportunity but also the trust and confidence to take this step. As young professionals, we bring a fresh perspective and aim to contribute new ideas to the organisation. Royal Lemkes values young colleagues stepping into these roles, and I’m grateful for that.”
