Patrick Dobbe started Dobbeflowers more than twenty years ago at the Cultra in Aalsmeer, where it quickly grew from a small team to a larger and larger operation. Seven years ago, Dobbeflowers moved to the Green Trade Center (GTC) and entered into a collaboration with Waterdrinker and Agora to reach even more customers. 'I am incredibly proud of everything my team and I have accomplished, but at the same time, it is time to take a new path. I have therefore decided to leave Dobbeflowers.'
Patrick Dobbe is grateful for every customer, grower, supplier, and colleague he has had the pleasure of meeting. 'Brainstorming together about how things could be improved or made more sustainable, and being able to share the love for the profession, I look back on it with so much pleasure.' He is passing the baton to Jean-Paul Kok.
