“Achieving results is of course important, but you can only achieve them together. That’s why, as a team lead, I support my colleagues, stay closely connected to the team, and I’m intentionally present on shop floor. I am listening to the team and driving improvements together. This drives motivation, and delivers results. For example, we significantly improved the turnaround time of critical end tests. By encouraging collaboration and standardizing processes, we’ve made real progress. That’s something I’m proud of.”

Professional and personal
“Why am I in the right place here? Because the combination of freedom and trust. The goals are clear, I determine the path to them myself. That motivates me enormously, at a company where it is simply very nice to work. Frencken has grown considerably, but the atmosphere remains personal. Call it pleasantly down-to-earth. Professional and accessible. We work internationally, yet it feels like a family business. Take our daily tier 1 meetings, for example, where you often speak to each other. There’s no bureaucratic hassle here, just direct support and collaboration. That way we can achieve a lot together.”
