He has decided to leave Afriflora Sher as of May 1, 2024. Since his arrival at the company in 2018, a very successful transition has been initiated under his leadership. Afriflora Sher has been converted from a large and unique family business into a successful, modern organization where it has managed to retain its social heart. Under the motto &#8216;Building a sustainable company for future generations&#8217;, Afriflora Sher contributes to the livelihoods of no fewer than 13,000 employees and more than 6,500 students.<\/p>\n<p>Cees can look back on a period in which he achieved a lot. Every day, 2.5 to 4 million roses find their way to consumers throughout Europe. Cees&#8217; leadership was characterized by involvement, versatility, an eye for quality and fun. His knowledge, skills and friendship will be missed in both the Dutch and Ethiopian organizations.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, Cees has been said goodbye in a festive manner in the Netherlands and Ethiopia. For example, the newly opened Sher primary school in Adami Tulu (Ethiopia) has been dedicated to him as a token of great appreciation. The management team, together with the employees, will continue the course set by Cees and they thank Cees for his enormous efforts and contribution to Afriflora\/Sher.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6838\" src=\"https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG-20240501-WA0000-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG-20240501-WA0000-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG-20240501-WA0000-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG-20240501-WA0000-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG-20240501-WA0000-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG-20240501-WA0000.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6835\" src=\"https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/kwekerij-x-277x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"277\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/kwekerij-x-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/kwekerij-x-249x270.jpg 249w, https:\/\/afriflora.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/kwekerij-x.jpg 721w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we said goodbye to our highly valued CEO Cees de Greve.
