KEES GOMMERS, MANAGEMENT & PROCUREMENT
As a general manager, and also one of the initiators of the BTC-Retail cooperation, I am responsible for the operation of the company.

I enjoy working with people and the challenge it posts. BTC-Retail is the ultimate endeavour for me and my colleagues.
JOHAN COPPELMANS, DIGITALIZATION, AUTOMATION & DATA MANAGEMENT
No different than many other companies, digitalization, automation, and data management is becoming more important for the future development of BTC. My job is to manage and expand this digital landscape. Some specific tasks are as follows but not limited to, imported articles are given a barcode, orders are sent digitally, every box is assigned a place in the warehouse, websites are synchronized, and we know immediately what the best sellers are. This means that I am the point of contact for our IT partners, and I help our members with their wishes and issues so that they can make optimal use of the systems.
GUUS TIMMERMANS, MARKETING
As a graphic designer at BTC-Retail, my daily work consists of designing various promotional materials and keeping our online information up-to-date. The innate nature of divided preferences among three different groups posts a challenge for me to design our campaign that satisfies all parties. Fortunately, there is always room for a little customization.

ILSE VLOET, PUCHASING & CATEGORY MANAGER
Besides plants and flowers, these days our garden centres are also known for their extensive collection of interior products. This started with Easter and Christmas but now you will find them year-round in our stores. As a buyer of interior decoration items, I want to make it almost impossible to leave one of our stores empty handed. Finding the perfect items, something for any interior; this is what I am looking for.
