An important step within the new Preferred Partner Program (PPP). This program, launched early this year, was created to work more closely with OZ-Hami growers. The goal is joint growth and improvement, focusing on activities such as \u201cGrower of the Week\u201d and data sharing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All 15 affiliated preferred partners were represented at the event, with a total of more than 30 participants. From OZ-Hami, several members of the management team, as well as teamleads of the purchasing and sales departments, attended. Together they looked ahead to the future and essential topics such as growth, collaboration and innovation were discussed in detail. Led by Siemen ten Bruggencate, they actively participated in thinking about ways to strengthen the partnership and achieve the strategic goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very successful event, packed with valuable insights and ideas for the future,\u201d said Ruben Sicking and Reinier Haasnoot, who opened the meeting with a presentation on OZ-Hami&#8217;s strategy. After the presentations and discussions, the growers were given the opportunity to sign the contract, confirming their commitment to further collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>The positive feedback from participating growers underscores the success of the event. This Preferred Partner Event provides a solid foundation for a lasting partnership, with OZ-Hami and its partners working together to build a colorful future in floriculture.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"related bg-white\" id=\"related\">\n        <div class=\"wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"introduction text-container\">\n                <h2>Also see these <em>news<\/em><\/h2>            <\/div>\n        \n         <div class=\"grid-container\"> <script>console.log(\"\\u003Ch2\\u003E\\u003Cspan class=\\\"TextRun SCXW66832479 BCX0\\\" lang=\\\"NL-NL\\\" xml:lang=\\\"NL-NL\\\" data-contrast=\\\"auto\\\"\\u003E\\u003Cspan class=\\\"NormalTextRun SCXW66832479 BCX0\\\" data-ccp-parastyle=\\\"No Spacing\\\"\\u003EOZ-\\u003C\\\/span\\u003E\\u003Cspan class=\\\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW66832479 BCX0\\\" data-ccp-parastyle=\\\"No Spacing\\\"\\u003EHami\\u003C\\\/span\\u003E\\u003Cspan class=\\\"NormalTextRun SCXW66832479 BCX0\\\" data-ccp-parastyle=\\\"No Spacing\\\"\\u003E is helping \\u003C\\\/span\\u003E\\u003Cspan class=\\\"NormalTextRun SCXW66832479 BCX0\\\" data-ccp-parastyle=\\\"No Spacing\\\"\\u003EHoney\\u003C\\\/span\\u003E\\u003Cspan class=\\\"NormalTextRun SCXW66832479 BCX0\\\" data-ccp-parastyle=\\\"No Spacing\\\"\\u003E Highway\\u003C\\\/span\\u003E\\u003C\\\/span\\u003E\\u003C\\\/h2\\u003E\\r\\n\\u003Cb\\u003E\\u003Cspan data-contrast=\\\"auto\\\"\\u003EEnthusiastic employees of the businesses on the VBA South property planted 5,600 gestation plants and flower shrubs, making Bee Park VBA South a reality.
