The experiences of our employees.
Desiree
I joined Aquafarm just more than over a year ago in the husbandry team, after graduating from my Animal Husbandry Course. We really take good care for the fish we sell. We have a small but dedicated team and I still learn every day from my colleagues. Therefore I can see myself working here in the years to come.
Bram
After several years of working outside in scaping ponds & selling fish I’ve joined Aquafarm approximately 5 years ago. What I really like is the variety of work. Taking care of fish & packing and checking quality before selling. But also the responsibility for the machines & installations, it’s all part of my daily business.
Pascal
I’ve been with the Aquatic Wholesale Group for over 19 years, I’m responsible for production and stock. What I enjoy most, besides selling a variety of high quality fish, is the spirit of the team we work with. We work hard but make “lots of fun” as well.
