Owner of event location and hotel Gooiland, Philip Lamers, wants to prepare his company for the future, for the moment when meeting is an everyday affair again. That is why he has decided to strengthen the management. Patrick van Rossum, former Commercial Manager of MPS | food & design, has been co-owner and Commercial Director of Gooiland since 1 December 2020.


As COVID-19 constraints become less and less in the coming months, the need to meet will only increase. Philip Lamers, as General Manager of an event location, wants to respond directly to this. With the new Commercial Director, Patrick van Rossum, on board, the location must be able to run at full speed again as soon as possible.


Fresh look at the company

Philip: “This crisis is extremely demanding. I had to let fantastic people go, but at the same time I am confident that the market will eventually pick up again. To be able to handle that well, I need someone who is next to me and thinks along with me. A co-owner as a sparring partner, someone with a fresh perspective on the company. With Lennart Peeperkorn as an involved advisor, I started the search for this person. I am very happy that I found Patrick through him. I got to know Patrick as a very warm personality who manages relationships like no other. Just by being who he is. He is positive and goes through fire for his relationships. And of course he has a lot of experience in the event world. ”


High-end events

Patrick knows the ins and outs within the catering and events industry. He has been active in this world for twenty years and knows both the operational and commercial side. For the past 3.5 years he was Commercial Manager at MPS | food & design.


Patrick: “I can't wait to introduce my relations to Gooiland. This location is so cool! Besides being completely up-to-date, there is so much possible. You have a theater for plenary sessions, a light, open space for a drink and a hotel for multi-day events. And I haven't even mentioned the rest of the rooms. Truly a location for high-end events. ”
