Meet our team!
Hi, I'm Amber! Since April 2024, I’ve been part of the team at The Peppermint Company. It’s a close-knit and dedicated team that’s always ready for all customers. Before my time here, I worked as a sales associate in a home furnishings store, where my passion for commercial work started to grow. Now, I can further develop that passion at TPC.
As a newcomer to The Peppermint Company, my tasks haven’t been fully defined yet, and I’m still exploring what my exact role will be. At the moment, I mainly focus on drafting quotes, processing orders, and answering phone calls.
Besides work, I enjoy playing tennis, where I get to show my competitive side. And, of course, carnival. It’s a time when I’m actively and creatively engaged with friends, building a beautiful parade float. It always brings a smile to my face!
With my diverse interests and positive attitude, I’m ready to take on any challenge at The Peppermint Company and contribute to our collective success.
I am Esmeralda and I’ve been working at The Peppermint Company since 2022. Before entering the world of promotional items, I worked in gastronomy and retail. Now, I use my experience as an operations manager. My days are filled with optimizing systems behind the scenes, supporting the sales team, improving processes in the warehouse and production. Preparing for trade shows, creating newsletters, and updating the catalog are also part of my tasks. In short, I have a fun and versatile job. The best part of my job? Collaborating with my colleagues and ensuring we deliver a great product, whether it’s small or large orders.
Although I’m more of a savory treats person, the scent of fresh peppermint always makes me happy, especially when it’s packed in a tin with a beautiful design. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, sailing, being creative with activities like crocheting, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
Do you have any questions or want to know more? Don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’m here to help!
My name is Esther. After several enjoyable years working at Buttonboss, I seized the opportunity to transition into the confectionery business when The Peppermint Company was acquired and moved to Enschede.
I’m practically part of the furniture and the only part-timer on the sales team. I’m here on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
What makes the job so enjoyable for me is being part of a great team with a positive attitude. This allows us to complement and strengthen each other. A satisfied customer is very important to me, and I will always do my best to achieve that.
Hi, I am Jorieke, 28 years old. I have been working at The Peppermint Company for nearly 2 years, since August 2022. Previously, I always worked in hospitality, but I got tired of those hours and sought a new challenge, and I still feel right at home here!
Besides work, I have several hobbies. I’ve split them into winter and summer activities. In the summer, you’ll often see me jumping into the water with a diving tank on my back; I love traveling for this, but there are also beautiful diving spots in the Netherlands. In the winter, you’ll find me almost every evening in the carnival shed, where I passionately work on our parade float! Besides these hobbies, I also spend time at the gym. And I never say no to a festival with friends or drinks on the terrace.
Our favorite snack is definitely Pringles, as I’m not really a sweet tooth!
Hi, my name is Lisa. I have been working in the sales department at The Peppermint Company for 8 years now. After completing my training as a Commercial Employee in the Office, I quickly started working here, and to this day, I still enjoy it very much. With new products and suppliers constantly being added, there's always something new to learn.
I grew up in the countryside and love being outdoors. When I’m not working, you can often find me outside in the woods with my dog, Barry.
My favorite snack? Anything with chocolate on it or in it!
Bonjour, I'm Marcel. With over 20 years of experience at The Peppermint Company and more than 30 years in the industry, I’m a seasoned veteran. Before my time at The Peppermint Company, I spent over 10 years at a promotional products company. I started in Tiel and then, after the acquisition in 2008, I moved with the company to Enschede. This has allowed me to closely witness the growth of our company. In my role as head of sales, I’m involved in everything, from large projects to sourcing and calculations. In fact, I’m somewhat involved in everything (read: I meddle in everything), but that’s what makes it so interesting.
Outside of work, my life is a mix of relaxation and activities – we are always on the go. I have a weakness for all kinds of snacks and sweets, making it a constant struggle to maintain my weight. Since 2020, I’ve been living in France and working from home, but I make the trip to Enschede every month. Our old farmhouse keeps me busy, and in my free time, I love to browse flea markets with my wife in search of hidden treasures. Life is always an adventure for me, and I’m very curious to see what else there is to discover!
