G-Nius in Maastricht & Valkenburg | 2022

This year is a special year for us. Thanks to the dedication and involvement of our employees, G-Nius has grown into the company we are today. And we are incredibly proud of that! To celebrate this, we invited our colleagues and their partners for a weekend in Maastricht and Valkenburg, in the south of the Netherlands.

Staying at a unique location

Upon arrival, it was immediately clear that the Kruisherenhotel in Maastricht is a beautiful and unique venue. This design hotel is located in a former monastery and a monumental church near the famous Vrijthof square. We were warmly welcomed here, and during the coffee, accompanied by a slice of Limburgse vlaai, the special history and concept of the hotel were explained.

Each hotel room is unique and focuses on luxury and comfort. The rooms are characterized by the stylish contrast between centuries-old architecture and original design pieces by world-renowned designers. This applies to the entire hotel, by the way.

A rally down South

After a warm welcome, we boarded a vintage bus heading towards Chateau St. Gerlach in Valkenburg. This was the starting point of our rally. We explored the landscape of South Limburg in Daf cars while completing a number of tasks along the way. The rally ended in the center of Valkenburg, where we participated in a workshop to learn how to make our own cocktails. Meanwhile, the die-hard fans also secretly watched the F1 sprint race.

Anniversary year for G-Nius

After the vintage bus brought us back to the hotel, it was time to give extra thanks to some colleagues. 20 years of G-Nius is a wonderful milestone, and therefore Gijs-Jan Deenen deserved to be honored.

Leo Keller also has something to celebrate this year as he has been part of G-Nius for 10 years. First as an intern, now as the Commercial Director, and since March, also as a shareholder. But these two gentlemen are not the only colleagues celebrating their anniversaries. Frank Claassen has been a dedicated Business Manager at G-Nius for 5 years.

Dining in an old quay cellar

We ended the day with a delightful dinner at the Harbour Club Maastricht restaurant. This restaurant is located in one of the old quay cellars of the historic inner harbor, ‘t Bassin, in Maastricht. Here, we enjoyed beautiful seasonal dishes.

We had a fantastic weekend with our colleagues and their partners. There was lots of laughter, and it was a great opportunity to get to know each other better. We see this weekend as an investment in our team and our company.

We are incredibly grateful and proud that we were able to celebrate this anniversary together. Here’s to the next 20 years!
