Below is the joint press release issued by Werkis, DDF People and Quadrum Capital.
Staffing and recruitment specialist Werkis continues to grow. After years of building the business, a strong foundation is now in place and the company is ready for the next step. To support this ambition, Werkis, together with its parent company DDF People, has welcomed an additional growth accelerator on board: Quadrum Capital. From now on, the three parties will work together to shape the future of the company.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to do work that suits them. This has been the vision of Werkis since its founding in 2008. Established in Kampen, the company has excelled with the support of DDF People and has built a strong market position across the northern and central regions of the Netherlands through a network of eleven offices. With the arrival of Quadrum Capital, Werkis can accelerate the expansion of its branch network and continue its growth both within and beyond its current regions.
Pushing Boundaries
“At Werkis, we give people the opportunity to develop themselves. Over the past years, this has enabled us to build a strong foundation,” says Managing Director Wessel van Dijk. “Now we want to move forward. Not with small steps, but with major leaps. With the knowledge, experience and network of Quadrum Capital, we can push our boundaries, create new opportunities and fully unlock the potential of our people.”
“We are growing while preserving our culture,” adds Operations Director Charlotte Strengholt. “Our people are independent-minded, constructively critical and genuinely interested in others. In everything we do, we operate through a strong regional network and stay close to both candidates and clients. Thanks to our personal approach and high level of commitment, we are a stable force in a dynamic world.”
Authenticity Comes First
Quadrum Capital is a Dutch investment company with roots in the regions of Twente and the Achterhoek. Partner Gert van Drie explains: “Werkis is a company with dedicated and entrepreneurial people. That is something we strongly identify with. The shared mentality, personal approach and attractive market make us eager to become a growth partner. At the same time, we respect both the company’s heritage and its future ambitions. Preserving the authenticity of Werkis comes first.”
DDF People will remain involved as an organisational and strategic partner. “We provide support, identify opportunities and safeguard the culture,” says CEO Erwin Ketel. “Now that our careful search for a growth partner has been successful, we are ready for the next phase. Our focus remains unchanged. Together, we strive for satisfied clients, engaged staffing professionals and proud employees. We look forward to increasing our impact on every level.”
