Any person could open a one-man business tomorrow. But running a company with more than 50 employees is a different proposition. Partly thanks to GGD Investments we managed to make this dream come true. In 2014 we founded Bright Cape, together with Pieter van den Tillaart, Luuk and Roy. GGD Investments offered us a platform with all the facilities needed for running a company, such as HR, debt management, finance, IT, and housing.

In addition, they acted as content partners in the field of consultancy, enabling us to talk well about strategic issues, personal issues, and commercial processes. We engage in this ‘sparring’ everywhere; at the office, at the bar and even on the ski lift!We became entrepreneurs because we wanted to pursue our dream, free of regulatory pressure and other obstacles. Thanks to Pieter, Luuk and Roy we can fully focus on doing just that.

Starting a business from scratch involves a lot of things. Setting up IT, financial processes, and taking legal regulations into account…the list goes on. But because we started Mettom in collaboration with GGD Investments, we simply plugged in and got started! And whenever we run into something new and unknown, we  know that we  can always rely on the experience of other entrepreneurs within the business group.

Now that the start-up phase of our company is over, it is  time to go further. We want to invest in automation and people. Guts and trust are needed for this. Luuk and Roy have given us the confidence to take Mettom to the next level!
