Rudi Peeters (60), from Hasselt, taught Belgians Tnternet banking at KBC, surprisingly became CEO at brickyard Vandersanden and now, as a director at Colruyt, is concerned with our stomach contents. Driven by eternal curiosity, with Pippi Longstocking as his inspiration.
The decision has been made. The family business Nelissen Steenfabrieken may pin on the title of ‘Limburg Entrepreneur of the Year’. The brickmaker from Kesselt (Lanaken) made it to the finals against Tribù and Umami Group.
We will find out on Wednesday 7 December, when it will be announced who will be crowned the eighth ‘Limburg Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the governor’s residence in Hasselt. It is Flemish Minister for the Economy Jo Brouns (cd&v) who has the honours of announcing the winner.
