The sleek and humorous presentation of economist and journalist Mathijs Bouman, provided a good atmosphere on 30 May last at the Solids Select Lunch. It was the fourth time that Van Beek and the trade journal Bulk had organised this special lunch for their partners and clients. As many as 52 interested people came together in a relaxed atmosphere to talk to people in the same field of work.
What certainly contributed to this open ambiance was the location that the organisers had chosen; the iconic dome of the Evoluon. The combination of speaker and location was the perfect invitation to get talking to one another.
Bouman is among other things known as the editor of the Dutch news programme Nieuwsuur and a welcome guest of RTL-Z, the popular prime time talk show, De Wereld Draait Door and other news and current affairs programmes. "Bouman was an extremely good speaker who presented the relatively boring economy in a hilarious way", reminisces Tim Heyden, Regional Sales Manager at Penko Engineering B.V.
