Jan-Willem Venhuizen appointed Managing Director

At the turn of the year, Jan-Willem Venhuizen will take over the management of Oudkerk B.V. in Rotterdam. The 48-year-old has been serving as the deputy managing director of the company, which is part of the HGK Group, since 2019. Together with Huib ten Cate, the spokesperson for the management, Venhuizen will now lead the logistics service provider.

Realignment of Corporate Management

With the appointment of Venhuizen as managing director, Oudkerk B.V. is undergoing a comprehensive realignment in its corporate management. At the same time, the company bids farewell to Kees Potters, who has served as managing director for many years and is now retiring. Markus Krämer, CEO of HGK Logistics and Intermodal GmbH, the shareholder of Oudkerk B.V., expressed positive sentiments about the succession plan: “I am very pleased that we have found such a viable solution. Jan-Willem Venhuizen is a recognized expert in the market and a valued partner for our customers.”

Oudkerk B.V. has been active in the ports of the Netherlands and Belgium for over 60 years and has established itself as a long-term partner of the offshore industry. The company plays an important role in the realization of wind farms in the North Sea, contributing to the achievement of European climate goals. Venhuizen’s expertise and experience are expected to further strengthen Oudkerk B.V.’s position in this important sector.
