Ricardo Westerhout

I started as an all-round employee in 2011. As a flying keeper, I could jump in anywhere and knew something about the entire company. I did this for two years, after which I felt a greater need for fixed tasks. That’s why I made the switch to the tire desk. This is now customer service. I also set up and implemented our Incident Registration System (IRS). Now I keep it up to date.

There are five of us working on automation in Vianen, a really nice team if I say so myself. It’s never the same; every day there’s a new challenge. If I can’t figure something out, we have enough knowledge to help each other.

I don’t yet have a clear picture of my future at Parts Express. I will be starting a training course soon. After all the knowledge I have gained within the company, I am still trying to expand my skills at all times. As a jack-of-all-trades, I think I can contribute a lot to Parts Express. Ultimately, I find that very important: really adding something to the organization.
