WHEN DID YOU DECIDE YOU WANTED TO HAVE A CAREER IN HOSPITALITY?
"My interest in entrepreneurship started at a young age. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do yet. After completing an education, I was inspired by my brother-in-law who owns an ice cream parlor in Purmerend. I then worked for my brother-in-law for 6 years to gain experience as an ice cream maker, completed all the training necessary and even participated in ice cream competitions. To further develop myself, I worked for another 4 years at management level at another ice cream company with several branches. After 10 years of experience, I started as an independent entrepreneur in 2012 and Doardi Ice & fries was created at the Westerpark. A company with fresh artisanal ice cream and chips."
