A fruitful meeting in Maastricht
In the middle of November Philip de Belder travelled to Maastricht, the Netherlands, to attend the 7th Biennial Stainless Steel World Conference and Expo. Despite the challenging business climate, the show proved to be the largest to date, attracting 250 conference delegates, 245 exhibiting companies and over 4500 visitors.
The prime purpose of the de Belder visit was to link-up with existing clients and also to introduce the company and its specialist metals industry international recruitment service to some of the other big players in the stainless steel industry. Whilst in Maastricht, however, Philip de Belder was invited to meet Donald Wiedemeyer, the CEO of the company that had organised the event, to discuss what could well prove to be a potentially valuable alliance for both parties. It was a meeting that was subsequently described as a striking success.
From Maastricht, Philip de Belder then drove across to Düsseldorf, where he was interviewing a number of candidates for a senior position within a top international engineering company.
The trip once again underlines de Belder Associates’ commitment to personal on-the-spot service and attention to detail no matter where it might be.
