Besides working hard, there is always time for a good laugh. That’s why we regularly plan fun outings with our team. This past weekend was no exception. On Friday, we dressed up in our Lederhosen and Dirndl dresses and headed to the Oktoberfest in Den Bosch.

We believe it’s important to have a lot of fun together as a team. So, last Friday after work, we went out in our Oktoberfest outfits to enjoy a delicious meal together. In true style, we savored tasty schnitzels. Then it was time for the real party, the Oktoberfest.

The festivities kicked off in a large party hangar at the Parade. As soon as we entered, the Tyrolean music set the mood and some of us quickly hit the dance floor.

We had an incredibly fun evening. We danced, sang, and above all, laughed a lot!

Over the past 20 years, many things have changed, including the locations from which we have worked. This time, we look back at these special and historic locations in the center of ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

It all started over 20 years ago from an office at Gijs-Jan Deenen’s home. However, there was a need for an external location, and a new workplace was quickly found. Co-founder Walter van Dijk found a room in Gasthuisstraat in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

Gijs-Jan: “We started working there, just the two of us, sometimes with a third person. At one point, the ground floor became available. We considered it a big investment at the time. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to make any changes, no network cabling or other modifications. The heating sometimes worked, sometimes it didn’t, and it was freezing cold.“

By chance, in 2006, Gijs-Jan discovered a building on Sint Josephstraat, the old rectory next to the Orangerie. The Orangerie is an event venue in the center of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. This was also the reason why the property had been on the market for a long time. No one wanted to live next to a party venue. However, this was not a problem for G-Nius as the parties took place outside office hours.

Gijs-Jan: “I immediately called the municipality to see if the permit could be changed from residential to residential and commercial. They quickly said ‘yes.’ So, we bought it and renovated it. We had about 8 workstations in this location, and we never had any issues with the parties and events. The only thing that sometimes startled us was the sound of emptying the glass containers.“

Due to growth and the need for more space, Gijs-Jan began searching for a new office location. This search didn’t last long. After a major renovation, the building on Sint Jorisstraat became the new office in 2008. It is a beautiful historic building in the heart of ‘s-Hertogenbosch with plenty of light and space.

Gijs-Jan: “I really like it here, right in the city center, yet it’s a peaceful environment to work in. Of course, parking could be more convenient right in front of the door, for example, but then you have to go to an industrial estate. But there, you miss the atmosphere, seeing familiar faces, and strolling through the city.”

We are proud of our office, and we would be happy to show it to you. So, if you’re curious about our workplace, just come by, and we’ll be glad to give you a tour.

There is no better way to end the summer than with a cozy gathering and delicious snacks. That’s why we organized the Back to Business drinks on Thursday, September 22nd.

By now, we have all enjoyed a beautiful summer and we are fully recharged to get back to work. It was a great opportunity to invite old and new business partners for an enjoyable evening.

This time, we chose Côte Bar and Bistro in the Korte Putstraat as the venue. It’s a beautiful location with an intimate atmosphere in one of the most famous streets of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. We had a wonderful evening with well-prepared appetizers.

It was great to see each other in person again and get to know each other better, something we value greatly. It was also a nice opportunity to catch up and meet new people in an informal setting.

We had a great time, and we hope that all attendees felt the same way.

At G-Nius we are fully recharged after a wonderful summer holiday. To end the summer we organize a nice drink.
