“The position turned out to be much broader than I initially thought”
Annelies Akkerman, Office Manager at Bluace
“I found the vacancy Office Manager at Bluace on LinkedIn. The idea of working for an ICT company appealed to me. My interest in software was sparked when I managed projects with software programs at my previous employer. Among other things, I was involved in how processes could run more efficiently and less error-prone. I also get a lot of pleasure from optimizing financial administrations,” says Annelies, Office Manager at Bluace. They live with her husband and their two children, aged 4 and 7, in Zwijndrecht. “My first impression of Bluace was very positive. The company radiated openness and seemed to pay much attention to its presentation, something I saw less of at other ICT companies. The application process was a pleasant experience. My conversation partner, Mark, was direct and open, which immediately clicked. The position turned out to be much broader than I initially thought, with tasks ranging from keeping track of inventory in the office to managing financial records and ISO certifications. This versatility appealed to me.”
Annelies says: “In my current role as Office Manager at Bluace, I am responsible for financial administration, HR tasks, car and telephone management, and management support. I work closely with Mark to control processes and comply with ISO standards.” Annelies particularly appreciates Bluace’s corporate culture. She says: “Everyone works hard and helps each other directly with problems, which creates a strong team spirit. At Bluace, there is always room for humor and friendliness, contributing to a more pleasant working atmosphere.”
“Bluace offers an environment in which I can continuously develop and contribute to both my growth and that of the company,” says Annelies. Her ambitions? She wants to standardize and automate the tasks she currently does so that she can transfer them, especially in HR, finance, and ISO. Annelies wants to increase her knowledge of Business Central and use this knowledge both within our organization and with our customers. “I look forward to achieving my ambitions and continuing to build a successful future together with my colleagues.”
