In 2004, I started the process of importing traditional Thai tuk-tuks from Bangkok to Europe, founding the Tuk Tuk Company together with a friend. A couple of years later, we were the first company in Europe allowed to drive a commercial tuk-tuk taxi.
In 2009, we founded the first factory to produce electric tuk-tuks, which were even exported to the USA.
I had been walking around with the idea of writing a book about my first steps as an entrepreneur for quite a while before I actually put pen to paper.
Eventually, I published my book ‘De Tuk Tuk Company’ in 2019. It tells the tale of all the mistakes I made and the adventures I came across when starting my first company.
Order the book and find out a lot more about me (only in Dutch!).
Co-founder and director of the Tuk Tuk Company/Factory
