Strong Connection has long existed between Valk Welding and Borrie – an appropriate word for this respected supplier of arc welding and plasma equipment throughout Europe, and beyond in Mexico and the United States. Appropriate too is Borrie’s motto, Personal Touch in Finance. With the increase in Valk Welding’s market share, the activities have also changed significantly with more responsibilities, and – besides auditing the annual accounts from home – there is always proactive thinking in the management of the company. Thus, in close consultation, a finance man has joined Valk Welding, this CFO provides Valk Welding with the important, required in-house knowledge, working efficiently on financial growth.
The fact that the corporate cultures of both companies have a good fit is another relevant contribution to the success of the cooperation. “Borrie finds it important to always have the best knowledge in house, to always be aware of new laws and regulations and to work solution-oriented,” says partner Pieterjan Kazen, “at Valk Welding this is also the case. Our company cultures have a match, there is a personal cooperation, looking at people.”
Alongside partners Pieterjan and Harm Borrie, Romana de Bruijn works from Borrie as an assistant accountant at Valk Welding. She underlines what Pieterjan indicates about the personal collaboration and learns all aspects of the accountancy profession in an efficient and pleasant way at this client, where she immediately gets a lot of responsibility.
For the continued expansion of branches in France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, there is a reliable link with Alliott Global, of which Borrie has been a member for many years. This ensures a representative is present in each country and allows work to be done on a personal basis.
Valk Welding is a proud and passionate family business and Borrie plays an important role in the transfer of the company to the three children of Remco Valk, CEO of the company. This work is more than an economic story, it is a far-reaching process that requires several years of work by Remco Valk emphasising that this process has been flawless. A great example of The strong connection, the strong connection as Valk Welding itself writes, which fits seamlessly with the passion for entrepreneurship that Borrie also has, where you achieve the best result together.
