Vannova® launches new stock location in Aalsmeer

From 1 December, VannoVa® Master Growers will launch a stock location in Aalsmeer, in partnership with Sijsner. VannoVa ® will improve service through more efficient distribution of flowers to customers based at this auction.

With ongoing ambition to optimise service, VannoVa® focuses on reducing delivery times for customers in the Aalsmeer region. Leon Kuijt, account manager of VannoVa comments: “Now is the time to guarantee shorter delivery times. During our search for a logistics partner, we quickly came across Sijsner Flora Packaging, a renowned player specialising in the processing and distribution of flowers and plants. We are convinced that this new partnership will enable us to deal more efficiently with transport movements to and from Aalsmeer. The positive reactions from Aalsmeer customers at the Trade Fair confirm that we are taking the right steps with this development.”

From 1 December, flowers packed in auction foil by VannoVa can be delivered at three different times. Leon Kuijt added: “We are achieving much faster delivery times through the cooperation with Sijsner. One is that orders ordered before 6am are now delivered to the box as early as 8.30am. These are all improvements that made our choice to work with Sijsner easy.” The well-known VannoVa® export boxes retain two delivery times.

A special milestone

Last week, we celebrated a milestone: Enigma Flowers took the 100,000th chrysanthemum order from VannoVa! And as the saying goes, “Celebrate your successes!” So we took advantage of this special number to celebrate our fine cooperation and shared success. We would like to thank all our valued trading partners for their trust!

Santinikwekerij Richard van Schie introduces Bowie

From this week, Master Grower Santini Nursery is releasing their latest santini variety Bowie: the first white Santini in the market that is well-dyeable.

Richard van Schie: “We are delighted to be the first grower in the Netherlands to grow Bowie. We already think he is very beautiful in his purest form, pearly white in colour with a green heart. When we heard that it can also be dyed very well, we became even more enthusiastic, because a Santini that absorbs paint well is not yet available on the market. This makes Bowie very versatile, as any colour is possible! A final feature is the flower’s particularly long shelf life. I also like to pay compliments to breeder Dekker Chrysanten, their team has done top work. Because breeding is craftsmanship.”

“Every time I visited Richard van Schie, I was cheerfully greeted by Bowie, the dog that walks around the nursery. When it was announced that this species was going to be allotted to Richard van Schie, I did my best to name it after that cute dog and I succeeded!” said Warja Abrosimova of Dekker Chrysanthemums. In the coming days, Dekker Chrysanten and Richard van Schie will visit many relations to introduce Santini Bowie.

ED VAN PAASSEN HARVESTING LAST CHRYSANTHEMUMS

On Friday 2 December, Ed van Paasen harvested his last chrysanthemums after a 38-year career as a chrysanthemum grower.

Ed: “I have been growing chrysanthemums since I left school. I had planned some time ago that I wanted to sell my business before I turned sixty, but I never thought the sale would happen so fast! It is time to take a new path and I am looking forward to it immensely. Thank you for everything!”
