Testimonials

Jos Aarts

Thomas is an enthusiastic man and has an excellent eye on the business interests for which he works, he is vital in assessing the situation and needs, and you can spar well with Thomas. The cooperation was excellent, he trained my people well, was clear, understanding, and a bit of aftercare was perfect. Because of his enthusiasm, knowledge, and inquisitiveness to imagine himself in the company he works for, he can make a good analysis of what is needed to lift the company to a higher level.

His positive attitude and a dose of humour make cooperation very easy. I would recommend Thomas because he is a team player. He stands for what he does and says.

In which the results were excellent. He is in a state of solving a problem without negativity. Thomas energizes your team when working with him and Thomas' input adds value.

We worked very closely with Thomas on the development of a program schedule, several iterations incorporating new ideas and developing details for a dredge construction. With his superior knowledge of dredge construction it was a great support. Thomas always brings a fresh perspective to the task at hand.

I got to know Thomas as a driven, ambitious critical mind, who won't let anything stop him from achieving his goals. He is super good at connecting and keeping people hooked. He's a pacesetter, a nice guy to have around when you're having a party. We went abroad a few times together, including Miami, and we got to know each other better there. So driven and so eager to learn. It is a beautiful and logical step that Thomas started his own business. Entrepreneurial and independence are two characteristics of Thomas. I would recommend Thomas if you are looking for someone who gets things done. Preferably in a hectic environment where he can use his knowledge and control skills.

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock in Chicago. He is very good at arranging the things that need to be done and can operate very independently. On the other hand, he is very good at handling people, and communicating. While in the USA, he arranged experimental research at Texas A&M himself, including building the testing facility and setting clay. So Thomas is the guy to get the job done. He is very good at building a network.
