Business is becoming increasingly complex. It starts with a good idea, quality, a solid approach, hard work.
Opmeer came up with the idea for a water bottle with a built-in pillbox. Realizing the need for a product range, he decided to pitch it on Dragons’ Den. While Mr. Perridon made a promise on the show, the real work began afterward: five months of negotiations, audits, and checks before he became a co-shareholder. Hoek en Blok, especially Mark van Valen and Julian Pieper, were invaluable during this process, handling everything from company valuation to legal contracts and tax arrangements. Opmeer appreciated their expertise and has since asked them to manage his financial statements and tax matters.
Blaauw, founded in the 1970s by ceramist Gerard Blaauw, specializes in custom kilns for professional applications. The company serves clients like Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum and ceramic artists in the U.S. Van Erven saw the opportunity to take over Blaauw and turned to Hoek en Blok for help. The team managed everything, from financial due diligence to drafting contracts. Van Erven praised Ad Riebergen, Julian Pieper, and Nathalie de Man for their thorough approach and clear communication, noting they genuinely worked in his best interest.
Frans van Zomeren realized that tank containers have specific needs, with repairs costing up to 5,000 euros per container. Safety and maintenance are key priorities. Van Zomeren wanted to pass the company to his sons, but an offer from ERMEWA Group, seeking a high-quality maintenance hub, was too good to refuse. Hoek en Blok assisted with the complex process involving Dutch law, a French buyer, and English communication. Van Zomeren praised the team’s support, especially during COVID.
