Ingrid Middag

Texts, long or short, smooth or businesslike; Ingrid writes them. No problem. She is also a visual thinker, visualises quickly and is creative. This comes in handy when creating content for the app, promotional cards, books, websites and what not. Is one of the few to water the plants in the office, caring as she is. Often goes out with a camera and shoots the most beautiful pictures. Which in their turn come in handy for AbelLeisure!

Geert Weijers

As a project manager, he likes to keep an overview. And if adjustments need to be made, no problem. This native of Twente with a background in tourism and events likes to look for possibilities and solutions. Ensuring that a project can be completed above expectations; that makes him happy. As an ‘outdoorsman’, Geert often goes into the woods with the dog and pedals away for miles on his mountain bike. He also loves music, good films and motorcycling.

Janine Drabbe

Ever since AbelLeisure started, this behind-the-scenes organiser has been busy with the company. She makes sure all loose ends are tied up. And, not unimportantly, she gets rid of what Jeroen (her better half) leaves behind. Now keeping the financial records in order, she is also visible in front of the scenes. To relax, she likes to get on her cycling bike and is regularly on the tennis court. A sporty lady, in other words.

Michel Ruiterkamp

Michel is our technical man. Born and raised in Gelselaar, this local energetically sets to work. In the workshop, he ensures thorough preparation. Once in the field, he immediately sees how the product blends into its surroundings. This is how he makes ‘outside’ more beautiful. Michel cannot live without music. In his spare time, he plays guitar with his band, where he is also good at singing, and he enjoys going to concerts.

Lenny Bulthuis

Working from Groningen, Lenny is working on the project ‘In het spoor van De Ploeg’. As a child of the Groninger Hogeland, the landscape, culture and heritage are very dear to her. She also has a great love of the arts and feels a great connection with the artists of the Groninger art group De Ploeg.
All this knowledge comes in handy in her work, such as shaping the project concept and bringing entrepreneurs and institutions together.

Jeroen Drabbe

Co-owner of AbelLeisure, the commercial man. Sees opportunities everywhere, even when they are not so visible. Usually enthusiastic. When he is not, Jeroen is really busy. He is an inspired communicator and knows how to market his products. If there is time besides work and family, this Brabander likes to do sports. Putting metres on his racing bike or running to clear his head.

Fred van Schoonhoven

Co-owner of AbelLeisure. Commercial with a touch of technology. Develops and leads new projects with preferably a pinch of innovation in them. He knows the limits of a project, is down-to-earth like a Tukker should be and likes to talk at lunch about his strategies as coach of a girls’ football team. As soon as something can be measured, he goes wild about sensors or a smart outdoor space…

Mees Drabbe

The youngest of our team. Mees too is active for AbelLeisure during holidays. At the office, where he assembles signs and brackets, or somewhere in the fresh air to survey a walking network. His greatest passion is football. At Sportclub Lochem, he plays in the JO16-1 , trains pupils and whistles their matches. And then he also manages to make time for gaming with his friends!
