Thank you from Peter Berkhout
As most ofyou have read a couple of weeks ago in the HortiDaily, Peter Berkhout is retiring at the end ofSeptember 2017. "By this way I'd like to thank all my customers which I have served during my 33 years selling light systems."
"Without them and their loyalty I could not have done this. I always tried to serve them with respect and I am very thankful for all the support I got.
I'd like to thank the Poot family who gave me the opportunity in 1984 to get this beautiful job. I'd especially like to thank Trond Vegger of Gavita AS in Norway, Dick Ter Horst and Bart Heemskerk from Gavita Nederland (now Gavita International) for giving my son and I the opportunity to start for them in 2002 for starting the operation in Canada. They stood with us through good and bad times."
"Last I'd like to thank my wife who never complained while I was more in the air and on the road during all those years. Without her support this type of work is not possible."
"I have made many friends during all those years and always had a good time during trade shows and visiting their operation. I wish all of you all the success in your business and may the light always burn bright"
"Thanks again for all the support."
"I am sure it will be strange not to fly or drive anymore but a new chapter is my life is starting as of October 1."
Yours truly
Peter Berkhout (e-mail)
