Seven Stars opens 3and location: Groningen!

The team was already there, the location wasn't. But: newsflash! Team Noord is taking off. From March, Team Noord will have its own location. As our Jack would say: "There's nothing like Groningen!" With a beautiful new location in the cool Mediacentrale, 2022 is off to a flying start for Team Noord. Jack is leading this vibrant team and is happy to tell you more about this strategic choice and move. We're talking to him, how could it be otherwise, in Groningen. Take IT away, Jack!

We are sitting in the Media Center, together with Jack in the new office. What a cool place! “Yes, thank you. Cool, huh!” For Jack, this was his 'next step'. In 2016, he started as an Account Manager at Seven Stars. Four years later, he started running his own team and now, barely a year and a half later, he and his team are opening their own branch. That must feel good, right? “Absolutely! It has always been an ambition of mine to be physically established in the North. That is now a reality and that certainly feels good!”

 

“It has always been an ambition for me to be physically established in the North. That is now a reality and it certainly feels good!”

 

But why this step? “The North is a network of who we know who. You notice that within IT, but perhaps even more so within employment mediation. Despite the fact that we were already a northern player – we have been serving this region since 2006 – this physical location in the North still brings with it a lot of extra connection and visibility. We stand for personal contact and sincere attention. From this new location in the region, the connection with our professionals, clients and partners can be made even better. In addition, it opens new doors: there are various partnerships where a physical business address in the North is a requirement, for example. There are also clients who ask you for it. Logical, of course they want to grow employment here, but also retain it.”

What will Northern Netherlands notice of our arrival? “Even more personal attention and connection. Meeting each other physically more often, with professionals, clients and partners. For example, DUO is one of our clients and we are now a 5-minute walk away. That is nice for both of us, also when we can go there by appointment again. Furthermore, we want to intensify the collaborations that we already had here. Northern parties are drawn to northern parties, because you have the same standards and values, the same mentality. That will ensure that we can grow even more together here.”

 

Our CCO Ronald is also extremely proud of this step. “This move to the North is in line with our strategy to be as close to the business and our relations as possible. You give real attention by being close. Great to see what this does to the team and happy with Jack as Business Unit Manager in the North. Head for it, Jack and the team always say!”

 

For Jack, but also his team, this own place is a new chapter. “I was born and raised in Groningen, so for me it is a home game. It has always been a dream to be able to cycle to work! The entire team consists of northerners: Groningen, Drenthe or Friesland, everyone is at the new office in no time. We will definitely find each other even better here. To work hard of course, but also to have that Friday afternoon drink together or play a game of padel downstairs!”

This location is of course a dream come true. But Jack still has plenty of ambitions and plans for his team. “We are going to expand the team and create more visibility. Joining partnerships, networking clubs, expanding collaborations with existing relationships – it’s all on the schedule. In addition, there are still plenty of prospects to focus on in order to realize even more business. And for myself? Growing even further in my role as Business Unit Manager. Guiding, growing and expanding the team. Together!”
