What motivates you to work with a new team, in a new country, under the context of a completely different culture and language?

“I am very motivated to live in Suriname. I like to get to know new cultures and new people. I am proud to be a part of this team and I am confident that we will continue to achieve the goals set by our operation. This is a highly skilled and motivated team”.

Where do you see Argos Suriname in 3 years?

“We have big challenges for the next 3 years! Our business will need to be more productive and competitive, ready to meet the rising demand for cement as a result of the government’s oil investments.

Also, we must continue the very good management that the whole team has done in all areas”.
