In addition to hard work, we also value team building and a good atmosphere. That’s why we like to have drinks and play table tennis on Friday afternoons. We have multiple company outings each year for all staff, including those from Australia and the USA, who come over to attend these events! Additionally, each department gets a budget that the team can use for bonding activities, such as playing padel, going out to eat, or attending a soccer match.
Unlike many others in the team, I’m not necessarily passionate about football or grass, but I love the company’s culture and drive and I’d quickly grown to love the industry, its people and technology. It’s amazing how such a diverse group of people, with all kinds of skills and interests, can work so well together because of passion and a shared goal.
Nico van Vuuren, Founder of SGL
“Looking back on how it all started, it’s impressive to see how the company has developed over twenty years. We’ve faced many challenges, but also celebrated many successes. Of course the technology is important, but it’s our people who make the difference.”
It’s incredibly interesting to be part of such a rapidly growing company, and I believe that growth will continue in the coming years. We’re active in a fantastic industry, especially if you love football. It truly is a unique setting; SGL remains the best place to work for me.
