EDC Wholesale has expanded its team with two new members to serve the French and Spanish markets. The Holland-based wholesaler expressed to the media its ambition to grow internationally and launched a new platform, called ONE-DC, at the beginning of March with multiple language options.
“To support our international customers we welcome two new members to the sales team,” said Lennard Honebecke, head of sales at EDC Wholesale. “Kim will serve our French customers and Nerea our Spanish and Portuguese customers. We are very excited to welcome these two ladies to the team and we are looking forward to serving our customers in their own language. We believe that this will add value to the service we offer our customers in French and Spanish markets.”
Nerea Quintana Álvarez is Spanish and comes from Bilbao. She has a master’s degree in international communication and has worked in a number of different countries. “I feel very lucky to be able to work with clients from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries,” she said. “Living in the Netherlands and speaking English most of the time sometimes makes me ‘forget’ my mother tongue languages (Spanish and Basque), so it’s very nice being able to include Spanish in my work life. I think the added value I can offer to our customers is that I am always going to be ready to help them and find the most convenient solutions for them. I will always communicate with kindness and honesty.”
The other new recruit, Kim Maes, who will be the first point of contact for EDC’s French B2B customers, already knows EDC very well having previously been employed in the firm’s customer service department.
“I’m very excited to take on this new challenge within EDC,” said Kim. “The colleagues and the work environment are remarkable. I’m proud to get the chance to include my language skills in my job. It’s interesting to see that the customer is central at all levels of the company at EDC Wholesale. This, in combination with an open and diverse working atmosphere, motivates me to bring my new job position to success.”
